Tim Curry - A Simple Twist of Fate lyrics
[Tim Curry - A Simple Twist of Fate lyrics]
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
It was then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
Stopped into a strange hotel with
A neon burning bright
She felt the heat of the night
And hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxophone somewhere far off playing
As she was walking on by the arcade
As a light burst through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped the coin into the cup of
Another 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
Push the window open wide
He felt that emptiness inside
To which cheaters could not blame
Caught on by a simple twist of fate
She 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 come out again
How long must he wait?
One more time, for a simple twist of fate
People told me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
Still I feel she was my twin
But, I lost the ring she was born in spring
And I was born too late!
Twist the night away
Come on baby, peppermint twist
(screams of delight from the crowd)
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him
And he felt a spark tingle to his bones
It was then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
Stopped into a strange hotel with
A neon burning bright
She felt the heat of the night
And hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxophone somewhere far off playing
As she was walking on by the arcade
As a light burst through a beat up shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped the coin into the cup of
Another 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
Push the window open wide
He felt that emptiness inside
To which cheaters could not blame
Caught on by a simple twist of fate
She 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 come out again
How long must he wait?
One more time, for a simple twist of fate
People told me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
Still I feel she was my twin
But, I lost the ring she was born in spring
And I was born too late!
Twist the night away
Come on baby, peppermint twist
(screams of delight from the crowd)
