♪♫ Hey, at six a.m. this morning, you know the man knocked at my door
I screamed into his ear, "Now looka here, I'm not the guy you're searching for"
But I got taken, yeah I got taken just the same
When it comes to getting sleep at night
You know I just can't seem to win

I went down to the zoo where I thought that I might hide
I met a friendly grizzly bear, who took me for a ride
And I got mangled, yeah I got pushed all out of shape
Yes, when it comes to being sociable
I just can't seem to win

Climbing up Mt. Everest to get away from all the noise
I slipped on a banana peel man and I almost got destroyed
And I was, I was worried, oh yes, I was worried all the way down to the ground
When it comes to holding safety nets
Nobody ever seems to be around

Well I put myself together, you know I found that it was best
If I had no longer tried to be just like all the rest
Because I'm, I'm twisted, yeees and I dig the way I am
Don't ask me about being normal you know I, I just no longer give a damn ♪♫

[ELGROOVER]

You're welcome Gazza ☺ Can't feel the raised wolf on my copy? I do have a slightly 'textured' copy of Rest In Peace, where a studio version of this appears. (It's not the proper fully textured cover that I originally had though). Got ripped off online on that one...ggrrrrr...

but now...I just no longer give a damn ;-j

Wow, the album cover is scarier than I remember!

We listened to this albim over and over again and again bucause it was te only album any of us had at the time. But this has some of John Kay's best music on it.

[ElricEnchanter]

great track from US best band EVER !!!!!



[christineealey]

you truly had to have lived in this era cos there is not to many people that have heard this great album this too is one of the good songs that my brother truly dug in the 70,s i really dig it too!!!

[waverlei]

I love that song... still. I was yelling TWISTED! TWISTED! for the encore at Steppenwolfs Valley Forge Music Fair concert, (197?) but it didn't happen. I think I got a smile from John Kay, but they played something more popular. Valley Forge was a round, 3000 capacity venue with a rotating stage in which every seat was a good seat. Too bad it's gone.

Sounds like John Kay meets johnny cash
