The Contortionist

I used to be a contortionist Doing that and doing this Swallowing rings and swords and things Life was bent and I was twisted Hanging in the playgrounds of the rich Which is what and what is which Time gone by still got the itch Can't stop the music, Can't stop the music... Doo doo doo doo doo doo... I used to be a contortionist Now I know what it really means Contortion or distortionist Do anything to be part of the scene Listen to the music I adore Begging the bartender for one more Is this the season to explore Is this the reason, the reason, the reason for Everybody needs somebody to love, to love Oh now now now Everybody needs somebody to love, to love Doo doo doo doo doo doo... I used to be a contortionist High up there in the darkest cloud Almost like I didn't exist Twist of lime in a drunken crowd Innocent and running wild Cool a fool and juvenile Don't ever change your style So alive with your Coney Island smile Doo doo doo doo doo doo...
