Simple Twist Of Fate - Concrete Blonde
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him
And she felt a spark tingle to her bones
It was then he felt alone and wished
That he'd gone straight
And not succumbed to a simple twist of fate
They walked along by the old canal
They were confused I remember so well
They stopped into a strange hotel
With neons burnin' bright
They felt the heat of the night
And it hit 'em like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate
A saxophone somewhere far off played
As they were walkin' down by the arcade
As the light burned through the beat-up shade
And he was wakin' up
She got the coin into the cup
Another blind man at the gate
You see it's just another simple twist of fate
He woke up and the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
And the window's open wide
Felt this emptiness inside to which
He could not relate
Well brought on by this simple twist of fate
She hears the ticking of the clock
She walks around with a parrot that talks
He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailers all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
And how long must he wait
Brought on by simple twist of fate
People think that it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe he was my twin
But I lost the ring
He was born insane and I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
