Twister
Colours flash before me as I fall
And I never know which way is up or which is down
Low flying emotions turn and stall
Shatter into tiny little pieces as they fall upon the ground
Jet propelled and headlong into space
Ev?ry single time I feel your warmin? touch upon my face
As I reach for you you turn away
And this up and down and down and up don?t let me go or let me stay
You pick me up, you give me shelter
Like you never ever ever ever wanted me to go
You take me down, you make me suffer
And my risin? and fallin? continues this twister of love
Tempest in the labyrinth of your mind
And I turn and twist and twist and turn but never get to know
Probablilities in space and time
As you give your little set of dice another winning throw
You pick me up, you give me shelter
Like you never ever ever ever wanted me to go
You take me down, you make me suffer
And my risin? and fallin? continues this twister of ?..
Love, what is it anyway?
For you it?s just a game you play
For me it?s something more
More and you don?t see it clear at all
So happy with the rise and fall
I?m headin? for the door
And out of this twister of love
Did you hear the weatherman today?
Lookin? like your little hurricane is gonna blow away
He?s forecastin? my blue skies today
Doesn?t matter what you?re gonna do or what you?re gonna say
You picked me up, you gave me shelter
Like you never ever ever ever wanted me to go
You took me down, you made me suffer
You picked me up, you gave me shelter
Like you never ever ever ever wanted me to go
You took me down, you made me suffer
No more risin? and fallin? goodbye to this twister of love
