A man leans down and whispers: "You can't stay. This is your chance, now take it, run away" The stupid creature grunts and thinks, I'll try They says a word, it's sounding like goodbye "Straight ahead, never turn around Don't look back, back where you began Through the woods, through the fields you'll run Don't go back to that awful man" A clumsy figure flees into the night He's tired, turns, and glimpses a distant light He's rushing now, towards a waving man That foolish thing, runs back where he began "Straight ahead, never turn around Don't look back, back where you began Through the woods, through the fields you'll run Don't go back to that awful man"
