Yeah! Don't look back into the sun Now you know that the time has come And they said it would never come for you, oh-oh-oh Oh, my friend you haven't changed You're looking rough and living strange And I know you got a taste for it too oh-oh-oh And they'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, oh no She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no Don't look back into the sun You've cast your plans but you're on the run And all the lies you said, who did you save? But when they played that song at the Death Disco It started fast but it ends so slow And all the time it just reminded me of you They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go (let me go!) She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no They'll never forgive you but they won't let you go (let me go!) She'll never forgive you but she won't let you go, oh no
