Lyrics/Letras:

Don't talk to strangers
Cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
Cause the words may come out real
Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to Heaven cause it's really only Hell
Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind
Don't dream of women cause they'll only bring you down

Hey you you know me you've touched I'm real
I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and
Feel me I'm danger - I'm the stranger

I I'm darkness I'm anger I'm pain
I am master
The evil song you sing inside your brain
Drive you insane
Don't talk
Don't let them inside your mind yeah
Run away run away go

No no don't let them in your mind
Protect your soul

Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
Cause the words may come out real

Don't talk to strangers
Cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
Cause they'll only bring you down

Yeah
Run away run away

It was a great time to be a teenager. Campbell, Rhoads, EVH, Yngwie, Lee, Murray/Smith, Tipton/Downing, Wylde, Vai and others with the best in their prime and most of them still cranking.

Great band, unique power and badass voice: NO 😮AUTOTUNE, just a 40 years ago MASTERPIECE

Aside from Dio having the most powerful voice in Metal Music he was the most charismatic frontman ever in my opinion! He was Intense, he was Mystical, His stage presence demanded attention, he didnt need to run up and down or jump on stage like a circus poodle or curse or any of that shit! Dio was the true Master of Metal🤘

When concerts were fucking concerts....the crowds back then were amazing...filled with powerful energy! What a great fucking year!!!!

[WarBeer]

Man, new metal doesn't even come CLOSE!

[leighburne]

God I love Ronnie. The man who proved against all odds that it's possible to dress like that and sing about rainbows and STILL be a God damn badass. Rock on, boss.

[RScott]

This is from a time when these guys had to have just amazing guitarists and I miss it badly

[markcorbin]

Will never be another Ronnie Dio! What a Voice! Fantastic Guitar work by a at that time a 22 year old man!

[enigma]

Heard this song for the first time a month ago and can't stop playing it. Ronnie James Dio was the real deal. incredible vocalist and theatrical also. R.I.P.

[jeffgoodberry]

When that discussion of "best" guitar players innevitably comes up, may Viv Campbell always be mentioned.

[meneocuskill]

Miss you .... Love this song! ... Vivian Campbell rocks! ... Don't Talk!!!!

[sephrider]

There will never be a better metalsinger. He knew how to sing clean, beautiful AND to sing like possessed by the devil with that awesome distortion on his voice. We should all bow our heads in respect and gratitude.

[phantomf]

Rest in peace to the metal GOAT. We miss you, Ronnie.

[madfzr]
