Twisted Games - Eagle-Eye Cherry

He was lost in a kerosene dream

Fuelled by the urge inside

Always been told not to play with fire

Never was one to abide

It all started way back when

When the neighbor’s house burnt down

Hypnotized by the burning flame

And in that flame his love was found

Now time went on like it always does

No one knew about his love affair

Love it was it’s a twisted game

Now he’s gone with out a prayer

Today he learnt his lesson well

Today he burnt like you do in hell

I wish this tale could end another way

In twisted games we should never play

Now I’ll tell you another tale

About a boy who loved his gun

His 45 was his one best friend

Twisted games that can’t be won

Another day or so they thought

No one knew what was to come

This little town will never be the same

With a little boy who loved his gun

Today he learnt his lesson well

Today he burnt his one last shell

I wish this tale could end another way

Twisted games we should never play
