The magnificent structure straddled the river As I dictated my autobiography to my biographer When I heard this tune My title was "Renegade Genius", but was interrupted much too soon Interrupted much too soon I received this line Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister From me in Hampstead he received a letter I headed it "Dear Twister" Up from West Hampstead I visited Keswick On permission from the guards I begun like this but could not continue it When I heard this tune (It begun like this but could not continue it) My ears were burned By this tune My head swooned By this tune Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister The train from London on day of lunacy was packed with innocents Children tended by walkman'd parents Cretins auditioning for non-existent parts on TV One The train was a tube Within the crushing beauty of the countryside on the London - Keswick run Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister Twister My head burned Da da da da my ears burned Countryside has sold out? Countryside Cheap phone calls home Accent all around Cheap phone calls Ramble Grinning Normally Rambled In my ear hole was day of lunacy Some things like explosives Of pages turned Shadows Massive fucking noises Pop stars he he hackles Try mystic meg Twister Rustic town Twister
