Straight as an arrow
|
Carry our intentions
|
through the wind
|
Dogs all around you
|
But your gonna get
|
the message to your friend
|
At the 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
|
Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose
|
Just learning
|
how to twist and shout
|
Doesn't matter much
|
which damn beat you use
|
Let me tell you
|
how it all works out
|
Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose
|
Just learning
|
how to twist and shout
|
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
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
No rhyme or reason
|
No way to make it easy
|
'til it's done
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
So you cross onto
|
the other side of the street
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
Should know better
|
than to keep
|
turning up the heat
|
Let me tell you
|
how it all works out
|
Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose
|
Just learning
|
how to twist and shout
|
Doesn't matter much
|
which damn beat you use
|
Let me tell you
|
how it all works out
|
Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose
|
Just learning
|
how to twist and shout
|
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
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
Break me open
|
I need someone to see me
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
Make me feel it
|
make me feel
|
<Interlude>
|
In the city and the rain
|
is falling down
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
(Burn you up
|
we gonna burn you down)
|
You can make it happen
|
with your eyes
|
with your eyes alone
|
Let me tell you
|
how it all works out
|
Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose
|
Just learning
|
how to twist and shout
|
Doesn't matter much
|
which damn beat you use
|
Let me tell you
|
how it all works out
|
Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose
|
Just learning
|
how to twist and shout
|
Doesn't matter much

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

Break me open
|
(Let me tell you

(Never thought we had
|
so much time to lose)
|
Make me feel it
|
(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
|
You can make me feel it
|
You can make me feel it
