[Verse 1]
If you could see my mind
If you really look deep, then maybe you'll find
That somewhere there will be a place
Hidden behind my comedian face
You will find somewhere there's a house
And inside that house there's a room
Locked in the room in the corner you'd see
The voice is waiting for me, to set it free
I got the key
I got the key
Voices, I hear voices
[Verse 2]
In my head the voice is waiting
Waiting for me to set it free
I locked it inside my imagination
But I'm the one who's got the combination
Some people didn't like what the voice did say
So I took the voice and I locked it away
I got the key
I got the key
Voices, I hear voices
Voices, I hear voices
[Chorus]
(Don't look back, look straight ahead)
(Don't turn away, then the voice it said)
(Don't look back, yesterday's gone)
(Don't turn away, you can take it on)
[Instrumental]
Voices, I hear voices
Voices, I hear voices
[Chorus]
(Don't look back, look straight ahead)
(Don't turn away, then the voice it said)
(Don't look back, yesterday's gone)
(Don't turn away, you can take it on)
Don't look back, look straight ahead
Don't turn away, then the voice it said
Don't look back, yesterday's gone
Don't turn away, you can take it on
(Don't look back, look straight ahead)
(Don't turn away, then the voice it said)
(Don't look back, yesterday's gone)
(Don't turn away, you can take it on)
Voices, voices, voices, voices
Don't look back
Voices, voices
[Chorus]
(Don't look back, look straight ahead)
(Don't turn away, then the voice it said)
(Don't look back, yesterday's gone)
(Don't turn away, you can take it on)
Don't look back, look straight ahead (voices)
Don't turn away, then the voice it said (voices)
Don't look back, yesterday's gone (voices)
Don't turn away, you can take it on (voices)
