Twist and Shout
I wanna twist into your shout
while we shake it up with the lights on. Baby,
we’ll shake it down
to the foundations
work this unrequited lust right on out of my bones into your body
c’mon c’mon c’mon baby now
let’s
come
into new galaxies
twirling bellowing
hip-flashing throw off
gravity with the force of
our intergalactic
spin and yell
all from this squeaky
bedframe and these
sweatsoaked linens let me
twist
in
while you
shout
out
to the world what love
is supposed to sound like
honey
your sweet salt-liquour
flavour has had me
going from when
I first touch-tasted
those spaghetti-kneed
jellylegs
let me tonguetwist through your bodyshouts; they named drugs like ecstasy after us
so
coil springloaded through my
bloodstream winding your hair
through this heated haze
let’s spiralshriek our way
into a craze
you’re a twisty
little girl all angles and curves
and you arc in ways that
would make pornstars blush so-
velvetribbon yourself around me and I’ll bowtie us together
with your fingernails
screaming
knots
down my back
these shoulders curve round making
my chest into your echo chamber
and here comes the bridge let’s
tangle each other to bits and i’ll
touch you in ways that make aphrodite jealous
I’ve got these magnetic hands you are molten iron
writhing with heat
darling
let’s get viscous
and boil to the beat
spine-mashing shadow-crashing midnight-skin-dashing
shout into me whatever you desire and I’ll twist myself hoarse
til the air around us simply can shriek no more
and before you know it, the song is over.
We’ve reduced this love-shack to rubble
the steam hasn’t cleared yet
let’s see if we can make this single-track flashback
into an all evening marathon
so once more love
let me
twist into you
while we shout
the night
away.
