lyrics

Twisted City

Walked out in a Twisted City
Sun beating down from a crooked sky
Walked through streets mean and gritty
Silent souls drifting too weary to cry.

Spent some time in a Twisted City
Sullen nights and sordid days
Never asked for hope nor pity
Was lost to God; never even prayed.

Chorus
A ring a ring of roses, a pocketful of poses
All the little children lie down and die
A ring a ring of roses, a pocketful of poses
Life can’t kill you it can only try.

Met a man in a Twisted City
Couldn’t tell if he were dead or alive
Asked him why he answered witty:
Boy you do what you do to survive.

Chorus

Tinker tailor soldier sailor
Rich man poor man beggar man thief
I’ve seen things in this Twisted Cit
That soil my soul and beggar belief.

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Looked for love in that Twisted City
A Josephine for this Bonaparte
Found no love in that Twisted City
All I found was a broken heart
All I found was a broken heart
All I found was a broken heart.
