Twisted And Bent Lyrics - Trash Can Sinatras

I come aboard 

I sing a lament 

The world isn't round 

It's Twisted and Bent 

But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself 

Is the kind of fate I never contemplate 

That reminds me of the time I felt 

It's time for sin and catholic guilt 

Two years later to the day 

I had reason to confess 

With her hair a shining shade 

Of bus-conductress blonde 

Tales of music and movement 

Were told in grip and groan 

But to put these thoughts 

In songs like theirs 

Of the honest truth 

There'd be no trace 

Just lying out loud 

Good God give me strength to face another lazy day of 

"If I was a millionaire I'd be a million miles from here" 

You came into my life like a brick through a window 

And I cracked a smile 

I know her face so well 

Although the color of her eyes 

Escapes me for the moment 

Though her embrace 

Is like being short-changed 

But if I knew what made carpets fly 

I wouldn't be sitting here 

Twiddling my thumbs 

I'd threadbare my soul 

And wheedle my way 

Into other people's lives 

And out of my own 

So typical - a battle of wits 

And I've come half prepared 

Now we raised a toast to celebrate 

As December's embers fade 

But every fire is just a hoax 

For January's little joke 

Halfway to paralyzed my understudy's eyes grew tired 

Every actor hides a heckle, 

doctor hydes a jekyll 

See through my disguise 

But I forget the conversation we had 

I don't remember what you said or did 

That made you so attractive 

I'm immortal 

And that's no life at all
