Concrete Blonde - Simple Twist Of Fate lyrics

They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and she felt a spark tingle to her bones It was then she felt alone and wished that she'd gone straight And not succumbed to a simple twist of fate They walked along by the old can*l They were confused, I remember so well They stopped into a strange hotel with a neons burnin' bright They felt the heat of the night And it hit 'em like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone somewhere far off played As they were walkin' by the arcade As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up She got the coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate And see it's just another simple twist of fate He woke up, and the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself he didn't care, and the windows open wide Felt this emptiness inside to which he could not relate Brought on by this simple twist of fate She hears the ticking of the clock She walks around with a parrot that talks He hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again, and how long must he wait Brought on by a simple twist of fate People think that it's a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring He was born insane, and I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate
