Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's better than pleasure, it hurts more than pain
I've got what it takes to drive you insane
Now is the time to lose all control
Distort your body, oh, and twist your soul, oh
[Verse 2]
Contort yourself, oh, contort yourself
Hey, baby, you better twist it
You never, never, never resist it
Contort yourself, contort yourself, oh
[Verse 3]
Hey, baby, don't you stick together
And one of you just fall apart
You better try being stupid, oh, instead of smart
And once you take out all the garbage that's in your brain
Forget about your future, it's just, just, just, just too tame, oh
[Verse 4]
Contort yourself, oh
Oh, I said you got to, I said you got to
You got to, you got to, you got to contort yourself
Oh, oh
[Verse 5]
At first you arrive in position
And then you shatter your frame
Then you stretch your resistance until your mind slips away
And once you forget your affection for the human race
Reduce yourself to a zero and, baby, then you'll fall right in place
[Verse 6]
Oh, contort yourself one time
Contort yourself two times
Contort yourself three times
Contort yourself four times
Contort yourself five times
Oh! Hit it!
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh
Ah!
Oh
