The Twist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were too wasted to close the window
Friends and family looking in to my only hiding place
The rhythm of a strangers skin
Infidel to die for
What I am doing will happen in the morning
When the mirror won't recognize me
He holds a certain gesture when we're loving to ask each other
Do you want it? Do you want me?
I want it, it is you, you are where I want to be.
Who is he? (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive (twist)
Who is she? (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride (oh)
When I can drive. (the twist)
Somebody put me back in school, I forget everything
I used to know how to leave the boy behind
Without having to watch him go (oh)
Infidel to die for
What I am doing will happen in the morning
When the mirror won't recognize me
He holds a certain gesture when we're loving to ask each other
Do you want it? Do you want me?
I want it, it is you, you are where I want to be.
Who is he? (circumstantial) (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive (twist)
Who is she? (circumstantial) (oh)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride? (oh)
When I can drive. (the twist)
Circumstantial (oh) do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (the) do the twist (twist)
Circumstantial (oh) do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (oh) (the twist)
Allways
Circumstantial (oh) do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (the) do the twist (twist)
Circumstantial (oh) do the twist (do)
Circumstantial (oh) (the twist)
Always
