Twist and Shout [Rispetto]

by HOLLYWOODxBANGBANG   Aug 8, 2007


"Honey, there`s just got to be a different way!"
My voice shakes as I start our next fight,
And whiskey covers your breath as you turn away -
The walls dancing with angst from the moonlight.

Your actions fill my head up with pointless doubt,
As we continue the dance known as the twist and shout,
And Baby, I`m sorry but I`ve got to start another fight;
I need to feel something, and silence just isn`t right.
