Twist of Fate/The Last Dance (Live at FTG Studios)

Do you recall
A night
When escape was the
Dead last thing on your mind?
Does it ring
A bell
When someone asks where you are
You shout out: Hell!
You took the apple from the garden
Fed the seeds to your kin
You look sickly pale under the moonlight—
But I'm not envious of the skin you're in
Because that flesh won't be grooving tonight

Do the Twist
Of Fate
You've been swingin'
On a live warhead as of late

Do the Twist
Of Fate

Your conscious scrams for the door
But your countrymen think you're great
Boogie-woogie to the right
Truth shimmies to the left
With a happy pair of Bates on, your movement is deft
But don't you think those moves can fool the folks you lead
Because your tact ain't enough to make this dance floor bleed

Do you recall
Your face
When you saw the nightmare and couldn't shake awake?
Are there no stars
In your sky?
Is there no light that guides you to guide men to die?
There is a goodness in people, a soul we all share
But in the pit of your heart there is but moonlight
And I'll never be jealous of your future despair
That you'll find on the world stage tonight

Do the Twist
Of Fate
You want the end so bad you've saved the date—
Do the Twist
Of Fate
We've got a million different chances but it's too god damn late—
Shake the sweat off your brow, get the blood off your hands
Waltz away the trouble of international demand
But don't you think you'll hear folks cheering your name
Because one man's war dance is another man's pain
