Rough And Twisted Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, why don’t you drive me
Down that rough and twisted road?
Why don’t you guide me?
‘Cause I don’t know which way to go
Promise to take me
Yeah, to where the water glows
Somewhere, somewhere down to Puerto Rico
Where the tide just ebbs and flows
[Chorus]
Flash me all your jewelry
Poetry and friends
Promise me a dance like Nijinsky
Nothing, nothing, nothing but a false pretense
[Verse 2]
Yeah, all you feed me
Was just rancid ricе and bones
All I drank was muddy water
As lonely as a saxophonе
Why don’t you take me
To where I wanna go?
To Natchez, Mississippi
Sicily and Rome
[Chorus]
You just took me to a flyblown town
In the back of nowhere
Smell was acrid and toxic
Couldn’t breathe the air
The only club was called Conspiracy
They didn’t like me much
What they wanted was tyranny
And all that crazy, crazy, fucked up stuff
[Harmonica Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Why don’t you drive me?
Take me where you wanna go
Yeah, why don’t you take me
Down this rough and twisted road?
Yes, why don’t you teach me
Teach me all those foreign tongues?
Yeah, why don’t you take me?
‘Cause I’m deaf and blind and dumb
[Outro]
Yeah, drive me
Yeah, drive me
Where I wanna go
Drive me
Take me where I wanna
Take me where I wanna
Take me where I wanna go
