"Turnaround, bright eyes."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"Turnaround, bright eyes."
What's actually sung
"Turn around, bright eyes." Total Eclipse of the Heart — Bonnie Tyler (1983)
Why the ear defaults
Less a mondegreen than a boundary re-segmentation — "turn around" vs "turnaround" change the grammatical role from imperative verb to abstract noun.
