Tim Curry - A Simple Twist of Fate lyrics

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him, and he felt a spark tingle to his bones It was then he felt alone, and wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old can*l A little confused, I remember well Stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright She felt the heat of the night, and hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone somewhere far off playing As she was walking on by the arcade As a light burst through a beat up shade, where he was waking up She dropped the coin into the cup of another blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up, the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself she didn't care Push the window open wide He felt that emptiness inside, to which cheaters could not blame Caught on by a simple twist of fate She hears the ticking of the clock And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks, where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll come out again How long must he wait? One more time, for a simple twist of fate People told me it's a sin To know and feel too much within Still I feel she was my twin, but I lost the ring She was born in spring And I was born too late! Twist the night away Come on baby, peppermint twist. (screams of delight from the crowd)
