Ooh she moves like a racehorse And her eyes shiver, shift and curve When she cries, it's like a galeforce Because she is suffering from a twisted nerve Twisted nerve She went and married him when she was only twenty Twisted nerve Twisted nerve We always knew that he would leave her cold and empty Twisted nerve (Chorus) The human heart never skips a beat The human heart tears her apart But she'll always be out there waiting When he talks it's like a perfume But she knows its a poison gas So she puts his hand where her heart is So he can feel it shattering Like a pane of glass Twisted nerve When she found him we all thought she'd got religion Twisted nerve Twisted nerve Hear the sound of prayers coming from the kitchen Twisted nerve (Chorus) The human heart tears her apart But she'll always be out there waiting Twisted nerve, twisted nerve, twisted nerve, twisted nerve Now she waits in the bedroom She's awake, he's asleep She treats his heart like an heirloom He drags hers shivering through the street (Chorus) The human heart never skips a beat The human heart tears her apart But she'll always be out there waiting The human heart tears her apart But she'll always be out there waiting
