A soul full of anger - but nothing to show A world wrapped in cotton - but nowhere to go Obsessed by a woman that you didn't know Don't turn around - don't turn around Torn between lovers - both mothers as well A mind a prison - a heart in a cell If only the screams could be heard from this hell Don't turn around - don't turn around You were surprised by a girl in the sky who changed everyone And as your life became so mystified There was a lonely heart - left by the side Tomorrow could never be just one more day Confused by an image - refusing to stay The child in your mind always wanted its way Don't turn around - don't turn around Then on a day in your life still remembered by everyone There was a man with a gun at his side You and your monkey had nowhere to hide He was the man that was sent from the rye Don't turn around - don't turn around So many things on his mind I'm not sure if he knew Why he blew you away I can't decide if it's true What he thought on that day Don't be afraid when the day turns to night Don't be ashamed when I turn out the lights Call out my name and I'd hold you so tight Don't turn around - don't turn around
