Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Something shows in your face, aren't you forgetting yourself?

Merely let your mouth stand

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

[Verse 2]

Emotion packed in every tear, emotion mirrors your fears

Smile and say hello, dear

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

(You make me) Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

[Verse 3]

Walk into a nightclub, see you standing in there

Both your eyes are on me

Wonder what makes you care, wonder what makes you stare

Into a nightclub, all your friends are in there

Is that really blonde hair? Why don't you play fair?

You could be in Mayfair

[Verse 4]

You broke my heart in several pieces, not supposed to be that open

Have to read the books again

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

[Verse 5]

But you can't hurt me anymore, I haven't got a heart no more

No feelings get in my way

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

(You make me) Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

[Verse 6]

Did you think that I'd return? Emotions all I need to learn

Now you're gonna feel the same

Vice-a-versa love and pain, vice-a-versa love and pain

Did you think that I'd return? Emotions all I need to learn

Now you're gonna feel the same

Vice-a-versa love and pain, vice-a-versa love and pain

[Verse 7]

Now I'm here, can you complain? Now my mind is rearranged

Now I can't be sure again

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

[Verse 8]

Are we really happy or maybe just pretending?

I can't tell the difference

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

(You make me) Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl

[Verse 9]

I can have a new face, I can have a new body

I can have a new boy, I can have a new girl, I can have a new world

Can have a new face, I can have a new body

I can have a new boy, can have a new girl, I can have a new world

[Verse 10]

I can have a twist & crawl, I can have a twist & crawl

Twist & crawl, twist & crawl, twist & crawl
