Straight as an arrow, you carry your intentions through the wind
dogs all around you, but you're going to 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
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

pilgrim knows the road to go
how many times we told you so
burn you up we gonna burn you down
burn you up we gonna burn you down
with no rhyme or reason
no way to make it easy ‘till it's done
burn you up we gonna burn you down
burn you up we gonna burn you down

saw you crossing to 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 but you 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, oh, oh

hey, hey, hey, hey make me feel this
hey, hey, hey, hey hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey make me feel it
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

when they lose you
they can't use you to
burn you up, burn you down
burn you up we gonna burn you down
break me open i need someone to save me
burn you up we gonna burn you down
burn you up we gonna burn you down
make me feel it, make me feel

nighttime 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, 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 loose
just learning how to twist and shout
doesn't matter much which damn beat you use

break me open – make me feel it
break me open – make me feel it
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
