Lyrics

Straight as an arrow
Carry our intentions through the wind
Dogs all around you
But you're gonna get the message to your friend
At every rendezvous, you keep on looking around
Nighttime in the city and the rain keeps falling down
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Heaven knows the road to go
How many times we've told you so
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
No rhyme or reason
No way to make it easy till it's done
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
So you cross onto the other side of the street
You should know better than to keep turning up the heat
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Oh-oh-ai-ai
(hey hey hey hey)
Make me feel this
(hey hey hey hey)
Hey-ey Hey Hey
(hey hey hey hey)
Make me feel it
(hey hey hey hey)
When they lose you, it can bruise you
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Break me open, I need someone to see me
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Make me feel it, make me feel
In the city and the rain is falling down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
You can make it happen, with your eyes, with your eyes alone
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Burn you up, and I'll burn you down
Let me tell you how it all works out
I never thought we had so much time to lose
Just learning how to twist and shout
It doesn't matter much which damn beat you use
Break me open
(Let me tell you how it all works out)
(Never thought we had so much time to lose)
Make me feel it
(Just learning how to twist and shout)
(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)
Break me open
(Let me tell you how it all works out)
(Never thought we had so much time to lose)
Make me feel it
(You make me feel it)
(Just learning how to twist and shout)
(Doesn't matter much which damn beat you use)
You can make me feel it
You can make me, you can make me, you can make me feel it
You can make me feel it
You can make me feel it
You can make me feel it...
