It came in a flash

Lasted a minute

Another life reduced to ash

A hand on a mouth

A smell of Crystal Head

Eyes were closed and prayers said

Now you go tell her to sleep tight

Without putting up a fight

And tell her not to look over her shoulder in the night

We can wish, we can hope, we can pray

But it's nothing if we keep her voice at bay

We can wish, we can hope, we can pray

Yet the only thing society will say

Is "what goes around (around around around around)

Comes around (around around around around)

Don't let the bed bugs bite"

Decency gone

For the boys in blue

Just to prove it was all true

She's still in awe

And this is the last straw

That man did not break the law

Now you go tell her to sleep tight

Without putting up a fight

And tell her not to look over her shoulder in the night

We can wish, we can hope, we can pray

But it's nothing if we keep her voice at bay

We can wish, we can hope, we can pray

Yet the only thing society will say

Is "what goes around (around around around around)

Comes around" (around around around around)

We can wish, we can hope, we can pray

But its nothing if we keep her voice at bay

We can wish, we can hope, we can pray

Yet the only thing society will say

Is "what goes around (around around around around)

Comes around" (around around around around)

"What goes around (around around around around)

Comes around" (around around around around)
