She sings from somewhere you can't see She sits in the top of the greenest tree She sends out an aroma of undefined love It drips on down in a mist from above
[Chorus] She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want
You hear her calling everywhere you turn You know you're headed for the pleasure burn But the words get stuck on the tip of your tongue She's the real thing but you knew it all along
[Chorus]
Look at you with your mouth watering Look at you with your mind spinnin' Why don't we just admit it's all over She's just the girl you want
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
She's just the girl, she's just the girl The girl you want She's just the girl, she's just the girl

Twist away the gates of steel Unlock the secret voice Give in to ancient noise Take a chance a brand new dance Twist away the gates of steel
Twist away Now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel
A man is real Not made of steel
But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel
The beginning was the end Of everything now The ape regards his tail He's stuck on it Repeats until he fails Half a goon and half a god A man's not made of steel
Twist away Now twist and shout The earth it moves too slow But the earth is all we know We pay to play the human way Twist away the gates of steel
victim of collision on the open sea nobody ever said that life was free sink swim go down with the ship but use your freedom of choice i say it again in the land of the free use your freedom of choice in ancient rome there was a poem about a dog who had two bones he picked at one he licked the other he went in circles till he dropped dead freedom of choice is what you got freedom of choice is what you want then if you got it you don't want it seems to be the rule of thumb don't be tricked by what you see you got two ways to go
Jonee went to the pawnshop Bought himself a guitar Now he's gonna go far You gotta love 'em and leave 'em Sometimes you deceive 'em You made her cry Jonee you're bad You're gonna make her sad
