A TWIST IN THE TALE
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)
As you watch from your house on the hill,
World keeps spinning around you you're standing still.
And a thought rivers enters your mind.
Something happened once in my life,
A fading picture of you that's so hard to describe.
I've been where the sun never shines.
That's alright - there's a change in the story,
That's alright - there's a change in the plan,
A twist in the tale.
Face in the mirror head in the clouds,
Hanging on to a dream that you can't do without.
As it drops like a stone without trace.
Give what you want take what you need,
Squeezing so hard there's no room to breathe.
And your flavour has fallen from grace.
That's alright - there's a change in the story,
That's alright - there's a change in the plan,
A twist in the tale.
I saw you dancing, dancing on air.
You were lost in the in the starlight.
No one but me really cared.
Every question turns out a lie,
Can't you swallow the truth for once in your life?
I loved you but don't ask me why.
It's alright - there's a change in the story,
It's alright - there's a change in the plan,
A twist in the tale.
