It's time to wake up It's time to change Lets get it started I feel like there's so much to re-arange Come on, I need your help with this Why don't we get it started with a kiss? If memory serves Then why am I still waiting for it To return, My head feels like its just about to split This morning is just a blur Today lingers on like a bad year I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it Beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist We get a long well We talk a lot I made some promises I guess that I totally forgot Forgive me my mind is elsewhere Feels like somebody's falling down the stairs Its not good enough (You've tried those same excuses before) I thought you knew enough about it but you still want more Today I don't feel so ill If only I could find the time I want to kill I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it Beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it Beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it Beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it coming the beginning of the twist
