Thomas Dolby - Evil Twin Brother lyrics

rate me

They say that New York City that never sleeps

But I think they're only talking about me

It's 3 am and ninety-five degrees.

Si I dressed and went out for a bite to eat.

I found an open diner on fourteenth.

Yelena brought me carrot cake and tea

I wasn't there-that wasn't me

It must have been my evil twin brother

I couldn't hear-I didn't see

It must have been my evil twin brother

Evil twin, my evil twin brother

The village was a maze of cobbled streets.

We stepped into a doorway out the rain

With the warm air from the subway on our skin.

An alleyway you'd never normally take

With a neon sign beneath a fire escape.

The man with the walkie talkie said come in...

I wasn't there-that wasn't me

It must have been my evil twin brother

I couldn't hear-I didn't see

It must have been my evil twin brother

I hadn't touched a drink in over a year

But I told myself I'd stop at just one beer

And found myself a stool at the bar.

A blur among the bodies in the strobe,

I saw Yelena spinning like a globe

She took my hand and led me on the floor...

I wasn't there-that wasn't me

It must have been my evil twin brother

I couldn't move-I couldn't breathe

It must have been my evil twin brother

I wasn't there-that wasn't me

It must have been my evil twin brother

How could I fall?-how could I cheat?

It must have been my evil twin brother.
