Stan Ridgway - Twisted lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

You're twisted, that's what you are

Just like a bee buzzin' in a jar

Frayed and ragged, spent and strained

Watchin' that water spin down the drain

You think that no one sees ya hidin' your dirt

And no one sees the spots and stains on your shirt

There's a big empty room there behind your eyes

When you look in the closet, you'll find a surprise

What do you do in the middle of the night

When no one sees you there?

Does your head start to shrink? Do your eyes bug out?

Do you wonder what's cheatin' and what's playin' fair?

I bet you've got an awful itch

A scratch that you can't touch

You're rollin' and weavin' all over the floor

You're scrappin' and scrapin' your nails at the door

Chorus repeat x2

Now what do you do in the middle of the night

When no one sees you there?

Does your head start to shrink? Do your eyes bug out?

Do you wonder what's cheatin' and what's playin' fair?

I bet you send out for all your food

I bet you think this that phone call is rude

Your body's all bent and hairy and warped outta shape

So take this number and call it, 'cause the zoo needs an ape

Chorus repeat x2, then repeat the first line x4
