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? (Circ*mstantial)
Why would I? (do)
Hitch a ride? (the)
I can drive (twist)
Who is she? (Circ*mstantial)
Why would I (do)
Hitch a ride (the)
When I can drive? (twist)
[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Emily Haines]
Circ*mstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circ*mstantial (the)
Do the twist (twist)
Circ*mstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circ*mstantial (the twist)
Always
Circ*mstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circ*mstantial (the)
Do the twist (twist)
Circ*mstantial (oh)
Do the twist (do)
Circ*mstantial (the twist)
Always
