Evil Twin Brother
I wasn't there
That wasn't me
It must have been my
Evil twin brother
I couldn't hear
I didn't see
It must have been my
Evil twin brother
(Evil twin, my evil twin brother)
They say that New York City never sleeps
But I think they're only talking about me
It's 3am and 95 degrees
woah woah woah
So I dressed and went out for a bite to eat
I found an open diner on 14th
Yalena brought me carrot cake and tea
woah woah woah
[Regina Spektor speaking Russian]
Хочешь ещё кофе? (Want more coffee?)
Я закончу в 4. (I'll finish at 4.)
Нет, мы открыты круглосуточно (No, we are open round-the-clock.)
I wasn't there
That wasn't me
It must have been my
Evil twin brother
I couldn't hear
I didn't see
It must have been my
Evil twin brother
(Evil twin, my evil twin brother)
The village was a maze of cobble streets
He stepped into a doorway out the rain
With the warm air from the subway on our skin
[Regina Spektor speaking Russian]
Хочешь? Кажется дождь прекратился. (Want? [Do you want?] It seems the rain stopped.)
An alleyway you'd never known we'd take
[Regina Spektor speaking Russian]
кукол...(?) (Dolls...) [indecipherable]
The neon sign beneath the fire escape
The man with the walky-talky said come in, in, in
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
That wasn't me (that wasn't me)
It must have been my
Evil twin brother (o-ho)
I couldn't hear (I couldn't hear)
I didn't see (I couldn't see)
It must have been my
Evil twin brother (evil)
I wasn't there (wasn't me)
That wasn't me (not me)
It must have been my (ugh)
Evil twin brother
I couldn't hear (I couldn't hear)
(I couldn't see) I didn't see (noo)
I hadn't touched a drink in over a year
But I told myself I'd stop at just one beer
I found myself a stool at the bar
woah woah woah
A blur among the bodies in the store
I saw Yalena spining like a blow
She took my hand and led me on the floor, floor, floor
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
That wasn't me (not me)
It must have been my
Evil twin brother (oohoo)
I couldn't move (e-vil)
I didn't breathe (e-vil)
It must have been my
Evil twin brother (e-vil)
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
That wasn't me (that wasn't me)
It must have been my (hee)
Evil twin brother (no, no, no)
How could I fall (no)
How could I cheat (noo)
It must have been my (evil)
Evil twin brother (e-vil)
I wasn't there (ugh, oooh)
That wasn't me (e-vil)
It must have been my
Evil twin brother (not me)
How could I fall
How could I cheat (e-vil)
It must have been my
Evil twin brother (noo)
(woo, noo-ooh, hee, I couldn't see)
Evil twin, my evil twin brother
It must have been my (oo)
Evil twin brother (mmm)
Evil twin (wooo), my evil twin brother (e-vil, e-vil)
I wasn't there
It must have been my
evil twin brother (evil)
That wasn't me
It must have been my
Evil twin brother
I couldn't hear
I didn't see
It must have been my
Evil twin brother
