As It Was?

Twist! Your you holly opposition
Twist! The twisted box of people this
I guess you're better thinking off
You knew that, Easy as it was
Come on in
Oh, give me something special, something I need!
She makes a try, a simple lay-o
Gathered through the power set so
So I do hear your words
Peel the skin away from my eyes
And look in She's all the things that you put away
But you are inside
They slip in
I can hardly mix in
Without it all, your little
Make the monkey crawl, my love
So you will let me know.
ahh, ah, oh
oh, ah
ahh, ah, oh
oh, ah
ahh, ah, oh
