Turn Around

Lyrics

Music & Performance by Mike Boldt Moses now rides the subway train; A beaten man, can't bear the pain Of knowing that in this life, he Is not the king he used to be; And he can't break apart the sea; And he can't set his people free! Give up!! Give Up!! Things can't remain the same forever; Have to start a new game, or never Get that little old head together; Nothing's here to stay but the stars and the sky; What happened to you and I? Turn around and you are two; Turn around and you are four; Turn around and you are all grown up, walking out my front door; Turn around and you are here; Turn around and you've moved on; Turn around and wonder where the dreams of yesterday have gone! Ex-warlord's doing roof repair; And bowing to wimps who don't care That he once ruled the streets, by night; And he had never lost the fight; How could they have shut off the light? What made them take his divine right away, today? Things can't remain the same forever; You were leading the game, now never Can you put it all back together; Everything passed away with a blink of your eye; How could you let it go bye? Turn around and you are four; Turn around and you are eight; Turn around and wish you could go back, and alter your fate; Turn around and it is now; Turn around and now was then; Turn around and find you're all alone, dreaming you're home again! Go to sleep for a hundred years And waken to your darkest fears; As you stroll down the empty street; Peel melted flesh off the concrete; See the red glow, feel intense heat; Take the shame! You're to blame! You saw it coming down, but you didn't make them stop! Cause you thought we would last forever; You slept right through the blast, now never Can you put it all back together: Once complex world is now but a green dot midst the sky; You never did say goodbye; And now you can only cry! Turn around and you are eight; Turn around and you are nine; Turn around and all you've known is gone, you're first and last in line! Turn around and you are pink; Turn around and you are gray; Turn around and you're a memory, quickly fading away!
