Just think uh, just think of sound of (?) of sound

[crowd screaming]

Shush shush shush


They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked alone by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
He felt the heat of thе night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fatе

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking on by the arcade
As the light bust through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
He woke up; the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself, she didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clock
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again. How long must he wait
One more time! For a simple twist of fate

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
She was born in spring, but I was born too late!
Blame it
Blame it
Blame it
On a simple twist of fate

Twist the night away
Come on baby, peppermint twist
(screams of delight from the crowd)
