Lyrics:
Something shows in your face
Aren't you forgetting yourself
Nearly let your mask slip
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

Emotion packed in every tear
Emotion mirrors your fears
Smile and say hello dear
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

Walk into a niteclub
See you standing in there
Both your eyes are on me
Wonder what makes you care
Wonder what makes you stare

Walk into a niteclub
All your friends are in there
Is that really blond hair?
Why don't you play fair,
You could be in Mayfair?

You broke my heart in several pieces
Not supposed to be that easy
Have to read the books again
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

But you can't hurt me anymore
I haven't got a heart no more
No feelings get in my way
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

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

Now i've made a new way
Now my mind is rearranged
Now i can't be sure again
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

Are we really happy or maybe just pretending
I can't tell the difference
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl

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

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

I can have a twist and crawl
I can have a twist and crawl
Twist and crawl, twist and crawl, twist and crawl
