They Might Be Giants - Turn Around Lyrics
I was working all night in my officeWhen a man I had recently killedCalled me up from a phone near my buildingSo I looked out the window at himHe had the same obsequious mannerThat was the reason I had him killedSo to calm my nerves I sang this songTo him, over the phoneTurn around, turn aroundTheres a thing there that can be foundTurn around, turn aroundIts a human skull on the groundHuman skull on the groundTurn aroundI was out by myself in the graveyardI was doing an interpretive danceWhen I felt something heavy and pointedStrike me in the back of the neckAnd then the ghost of my dance instructorPushed me down into an open graveAnd as dirt rained down she played a xylophoneAnd sang me this songTurn around, turn aroundTheres a thing there that can be foundTurn around, turn aroundIts a human skull on the groundHuman skull on the groundTurn aroundWe were waving our arms out the windowOf a fast moving passenger trainActing in an irresponsible fashionUntil the engineer whose back had been turnedAnd who we thought would find us highly amusingQuickly swiveled his head aroundAnd his face which was a paper-white mask of evilSang us this songTurn around, (round) turn around (round)Theres a thing there that can be found (theres a thing there that can be)Turn around, (found) turn around (round)Its a human skull on the ground (its a human skull on the)Human skull (ground) on the ground (round)Turn around (turn around, turn around)Turn around, (round) turn around (round)Theres a thing there that can be found (theres a thing there that can be)Turn around, (found) turn around (round)Its a human skull on the ground (its a human skull on the)Human skull (ground) on the ground (round)Turn around (turn around, turn around)
