Rough And Twisted

Yeah, why don't you drive me

Down that rough and twisted road?

Why don't you guide me?

'Cause I don't know which way to go

Promise to take me

Yeah, to where the water glows

Somewhere, somewhere down to Puerto Rico

Where the tide just ebbs and flows

(Ooh) flash me all your jewelry

(Ooh-ooh) poetry and friends

(Ooh) promise me a dance like Nijinsky

(Ooh-ooh) nothing, nothing, nothing but a false pretense (ooh)

Yeah, all you feed me was just rancid rice and bones

All I drank was muddy water, as lonely as a saxophone

Why don't you take me to where I wanna go?

To Natchez, Mississippi, Sicily and Rome

(Ooh) you just took me to a flyblown town

(Ooh-ooh) in the back of nowhere

(Ooh) the smell was acrid and toxic

(Ooh-ooh) you breathe the air

(Ooh) the only club was called Conspiracy

(Ooh-ooh) they didn't like me much

(Ooh) what they wanted was tyranny

(Ooh-ooh) and all that crazy, crazy, fucked-up stuff (ooh)

Why don't you drive me?

Take me where you wanna go

Yeah, why don't you take me

Down this rough and twisted road?

Yes, why don't you teach me

Teach me all those foreign tongues?

Yeah, why don't you take me?

'Cause I'm deaf and blind and dumb

Yeah, drive me

Yeah, drive me

Where I wanna go

Drive me

Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna go
