were falling down a mountain,
head first into harm's way
Swan diving to a fountain by just an inch,
You were laying there half dead,
I never turned my back on you
Well, you were lost deep in
somewhere off the Gold Coast
You lost money on a stock
Or you were stuck in an elevator
with a ghost of Howard Hughes
Well, you were sinking in
In the eye of Hurricane Marie
You had a death rip on the bottom
And as the coast guard flew down
Glass would erupt around your shoe
Well, I never turned my back on you
Well, you were drinkin' fine wine
With a doctor standing past the door
It tasted hauntingly familiar,
but one you never tasted before
And as the Duchess fell dead,
and the poison hit you too
I never turned my back on you
Well, you were cashing your
When the robbers busted in
They killed everyone around you,
And when they needed a hostage
I never turned my back on them
Well, you were framed for a crime
Sentenced to do a dime in jail
The system calls a perpetrator
Spits you out like Jonah from the well
Well, society had changed
Somehow you had changed too
I never turned my back on
Never turn my back on you
