Twist And Shout

Well this city's so mean
That the dogs don't bark
But there's a rock 'n' roll scene
That's waiting in the dark
Where the cheap perfume
Goes straight to your heart.
Oh but something's wrong
With everything in the place
Hey what's wrong with this picture
Can you find the mistakes
We come in last in the human race
Oh do the red light rock,
down at the horror house
It's an electric shock,
that makes your veins pop out
Works on your nerves,
To make you twist and shout.
Well I fell asleep dancing,
To a rocking beat,
Yeah I fell asleep dancing,
To the noise in the street,
but when I woke up this morning,
I was still on my feet.
Oh do the red light rock,
down at the horror house
It's an electric shock,
that makes your veins pop out
Works on your nerves
to make you twist and shout.
