letra de the twist - terry scott taylor

Loading...

[intro]
this is one of those songs that seems to have connected with a lot of people. i get a lot of people after a concert or who email me and tell me how this song touches them. “the twist.”

[verse 1]
hang on, believe
there’s nothing up my sleeve
i’ve got no magic tricks to save the day
put down the gun
you’re not helping anyone
and i’m not about to run or back away
don’t walk the fence
then come to my defense
i don’t need fair-weather kinds of friends around
so watch and pray
as a traitor’s kiss betrays
and rest your feet of clay on shaky ground

[chorus]
then look me in the face
at least what’s left of it
tell me that you love me just a little bit
nail me down, break the skin
hard enough to do me in
but don’t leave me hanging
dying and dangling
twisting in the wind

[verse 2]
here, touch my side
let doubt be crucified
nailed with your wounded pride to love’s grim altar
here, taste my flesh
my bl–dy humanness
i am no phantom guest, no skinless martyr
so taste and feel
there’s nothing to conceal
you always knew the deal was sacrifice
stand up, be strong
when all you’ve got is gone
i left the light turned on in paradise

[chorus]
then look me in the face
at least what’s left of it
and tell me that you love me just a little bit
or nail me down, break the skin
hard enough to do me in
but don’t leave me hanging
dying and dangling
twisting in the wind

[outro]
and when the walls cave in
and the curtain’s torn asunder
you’ll know we’re near the end
you’ll hear me in the thunder
and when the sun grows dim
this’ll be your sign and wonder
that soon we’ll meet again
just like we did last summer
