What’s the matter with Bonnie? What is on her mind?
Why is she shaking? Is it a sign?
Her outspoken heart will kill her at last.
She’s serving him in his black mass.
They won’t get Bonnie. I’ll never tell.
If I am damned I’ll burn in hell.
Did she not hear or listen to me?
I said to run out of town girl just leave
You turn left. I’ll turn right.
Nobody ever asked you to stay here tonight.
You turn left. I’ll turn right.
If you go back now hell awaits.
The pyre’s burning for her and me.
I tried to show them.
All they could see, an enemy.
When will they learn?
Until they do, Lord let it burn.
You turn left, I’ll turn right.
Nobody ever asked you to stay here tonight.
You look right into my eyes.
Girl, don’t be afraid, hell can wait.
