Rough And Twisted

Yeah, why don't you drive me

Down that rough and twisted road?

Why don't you guide me

'Cause I don't know which way to go?

Promise to take me

Yeah, to where the water glows

Somewhere, somewhere down to Puerto Rico

Where the tide just ebbs and flows

Flash me all your jewelry, poetry, and friends

Promise me a dance like Nijinsky

Nothing, nothing, nothing but a false pretense

Yeah, all you feed me was just rancid ricе and bones

All I drank was muddy water

As lonely as a saxophonе

Why don't you take me

To where I wanna go?

To Natchez, Mississippi, Sicily, and Rome

You just took me to a flyblown town

In the back of nowhere

Smell was acrid and toxic

Couldn't breathe the air

The only club was called Conspiracy

They didn't like me much

What they wanted was tyranny

And all that crazy, crazy fucked-up stuff

[Harmonica and guitar solos]

Why don't you drive me?

Take me where you wanna go

Yeah, why don't you take me

Down this rough and twisted road?

Yes, why don't you teach me

Teach me all those foreign tongues?

Yeah, why don't you take me

'Cause I'm deaf and blind and dumb?

Yeah, drive me

Yeah, drive me

Where I wanna go

Drive me

Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna

Take me where I wanna go
