The Contortionist |
| I used to be a contortionist |
| Doing that and doing this |
| Swallowing rings and swords and things |
| Life was bent and I was twisted |
| Hanging in the playgrounds of the rich |
| Which is what and what is which |
| Time gone by still got the itch |
| Can’t stop the music, Can’t stop the music… |
| Doo doo doo doo doo doo… |
| I used to be a contortionist |
| Now I know what it really means |
| Contortion or distortionist |
| Do anything to be part of the scene |
| Listen to the music I adore |
| Begging the bartender for one more |
| Is this the season to explore |
| Is this the reason, the reason, the reason for |
| Everybody needs somebody to love, to love |
| Oh now now now |
| Everybody needs somebody to love, to love |
| Doo doo doo doo doo doo… |
| I used to be a contortionist |
| High up there in the darkest cloud |
| Almost like I didn’t exist |
| Twist of lime in a drunken crowd |
| Innocent and running wild |
| Cool a fool and juvenile |
| Don’t ever change your style |
| So alive with your Coney Island smile |
| Doo doo doo doo doo doo… |
