Warning - this song is scary!
way back in my teen years, i used to love reading (and writing) horror stories. this early song was presumably influenced by this experience.
lyrics:
coming round the corner with his eyes hanging down,
with a big red rag dragging round the town.
not a hair on his great black head can be found.
look out! get away! here comes the turtle man.
he can do you more harm than you'd ever think he can.
he's been around since time began
and i can tell you in truth that i ain't no fan
of that big black ugly grey turtle man.
he's got nothing for you to see,
nothing to get, to set free.
when he yawns there's more there than you'd ever think there'd be.
look out! get away! hide while you can!
here he comes. here comes the turtle man.
i remember there were times when i wished i could die
because that turtle man had me in his big ugly eye.
if you see him, you'd better try
to get away. hide while you can!
keep right away from the turtle man.
in these four white walls that hold me in tight
i think about the turtle man in the dead of night.
i scream at all the little people dressed in white,
"look out! get away! you know what i am!
you can't keep me here 'cause i'm the turtle man.
look out! get away! hide while you can!
here i come. here comes the turtle man."
