U-Turn Time
Golden Earring · The Red Bullet Years [2002]
U-turn, I know when it's U-turn time
U-turn, turn the kind
U-turn, I'm gonna leave it all behind
You and me could have solved it
Could have solved it easily
First you adore me, now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies
So, help me
Hand me your keys and I'll take your car
I'll take your car and leave you in peace
U-turn, modern tonight
U-burn, burn, but it's not my kind of light
U-turn, out on the sight
U-turn, I don't know what it is
U-turn time
You and me could have solved it
Could have solved it easily
First you adore me, now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies
And help me,
Hand me your keys and I'll take your car
I'll take your car and leave you in peace
I'll leave you in peace
You'll be happy, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
