That’s the twist again
Bet you didn’t see it coming
Twist again
That’s the twist again
Hope it doesn’t send you running
Down the street
'Cause you never know what
You will meet
A couple on vacation
Driving in the rain
Passed a creepy old motel
With tired eyes and
Muscles screaming out in pain
They got a room and went to bed
They said “Goodnight”
And both laid down their heads
The woman dreamed of
Ghosts and goblins on parade
A cocktail party of the damned
She danced with demons
Chatted up the rotting dead
It felt so real and when she
Woke she found
Black confetti all around
The bed was empty
Save a covered silver tray
And on that dish
A ghastly h'ordeuvre lay:
Her husband’s head a canapé
That’s the twist again
Bet you didn’t see it coming
Twist again
That’s the twist again
Hope it doesn’t send you running
Down the street
'Cause you never know
What you will meet
That’s the twist again
You’ve seen it all before
You knew from minute one
Whodunnit and what’s more
You wonder why they need
To ratchet up the gore
For the sequel
Now you’re looking for the door
An aging rock star wanting
One more shot at fame
Traded Satan for his soul
In return he got a shiny red guitar
And a record that went gold
He sold eternal torment for a song
The devil stood backstage
The last night of the tour
To collect his pound of flesh
The rocker knew that once
He’d finished up his set, his life was over
He played on instead
Until his calloused fingers bled
He strummed so fast his
Face turned red and then
His heart exploded in
His tattooed chest
No more encores, he was dead
That’s the twist again
Bet you didn’t see it coming
Twist again
That’s the twist again
Hope it doesn’t send you running
Down the street
'Cause you never know
What you will meet
No you never know
What you will meet

All the Rage
03:44

Beneath a sleepy seaside town
A crack appears
A glowing fissure overflows with molten tears
The thing that claws its way out of the rocks
A ragged beast
Ascends the hillside heading for the house
That faces east
Don’t think I can live without you
I know you’re the same
Hiding in the shadow’s all the rage
The clock turns over as a prelude to another day
A hulking form beside the garden path
Just melts away
Don't know what's out there, but
It’s filling me with fear and dread
Look out the window
Staring back at me
My floating head
Don’t think I can live without you
I know you’re the same
Hiding in the shadow’s all the rage
It's all the rage
It's all the rage
It's all the rage
Beneath a sleepy seaside house
A crack appears

My My (Pumpkin Pie)

My my, pumpkin pie
Come on
I want to be with you all alone
I know I want you tonight
I hear you say that it’s alright
And I want to be the one who stayed
My my, pumpkin pie
Come on
I dig your ingredients
I mix them all in a bowl
And then I lose all control
I want to eat you off a plate
It’s just me on the outside
Wanting you on the inside
Never wanna see you cry
Just wanna be with you
When you’re mine all mine
All mine
It’s just you on the outside
Cooling off on the inside
Never wanna see you cry
Just wanna be with you
When you’re mine all mine
All mine
All mine
All mine
My my, pumpkin pie
My my, pumpkin pie
My my, pumpkin pie
All mine
All mine
