[Verse 1]
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone, wished that he'd gone straight
Gone about that simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
Checked into a cheap hotel with the neon burning bright
He felt the hеat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simplе twist of fate
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself that he didn't care, through the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Bringing on simple twist of fate
[Verse 4]
A saxophone somewhere far off played
As she walked along the arcade
The sun burst through a beat-up shade back where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into a cup of a blind man at the gate
Forgot about that twist of fate
[Verse 5]
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
Told himself that he didn't care through the window open wide
Felt the emptiness inside, which he just could not relate
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 6]
Hears the beat of the clocks
Walks along with a parrot that talks
Heads down to the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again - how long he must wait?
One more time for that simple twist of fate
[Verse 7]
People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
All I know, she was my twin, but I lost the ring
She was born in spring, and I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
[Outro]
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
Oh, blame it on a simple twist of fate
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
