The Twist

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Emily Haines] We were too wasted to close the window Friends and family looking in to my only hiding place The rhythm of a stranger's skin Infidel to die for what I am doing Will happen in the morning When the mirror won't recognise me [Pre-Chorus: Emily Haines] He knows a certain gesture When we're loving to ask each other Do you want it? Do you want me? I want it It is you You are where I want to be [Chorus: James Shaw, Emily Haines] Who is he? (Oh) Why would I (Do) Hitch a ride? (The) I can drive (Twist) Who is she? (Oh) Why would I (Do) Hitch a ride (The) When I can drive? (Twist) [Verse 2: Emily Haines] Somebody put me back in school I forget everything I used to know How to leave the boy behind without having to watch him go Oh, infidel to die for what I am doing Will happen in the morning When the mirror won't recognise me [Pre-Chorus: Emily Haines] He knows a certain gesture When we're loving to ask each other Do you want it? Do you want me? I want it It is you You are where I want to be [Chorus: James Shaw, Emily Haines] Who is he? (Circumstantial) Why would I? (Do) Hitch a ride? (The) I can drive (Twist) Who is she? (Circumstantial) Why would I (Do) Hitch a ride (The) When I can drive? (Twist) [Instrumental Break] [Outro: Emily Haines] Circumstantial (Oh) Do the twist (Do) Circumstantial (The) Do the twist (Twist) Circumstantial (Oh) Do the twist (Do) Circumstantial (The twist) Always Circumstantial (Oh) Do the twist (Do) Circumstantial (The) Do the twist (Twist) Circumstantial (Oh) Do the twist (Do) Circumstantial (The twist) Always
