Electric Twist Lyrics
You should be wilder, you're no fun at all
Yeah, thanks for the input
Thanks for the call
With dull knives and white hands
The blood of a stone
Cold to the touch, right
Right down the bone
But you give me the electric twist and it kicks like a pony
And true, you might get away with it
It's a risk, it's a risk yeah
Picked from a hot grove, packaged for sale
It drips down the sleeve
Gets under your nails
A loss of the senses
A chip off a tooth
The smells of the city
They ride in your suit
He says don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
But I don't think I want to
‘cause you give me the electric twist and it kicks like a pony
and true, you might run away with it, it's a risk it's a risk yeah
because it kicks yeah
it really kicks yeah
and the touch of your lips it's a shock not a kiss
it's electric twist, it's electric twist (repeats)
He says don't think don't talk Don't think
Don't think don't talk Don't think
Don't think don't talk
But I don't think I want to
cause you give me the electric twist and it kicks and it kicks yeah
and true, letcha get away with it, it's a risk it's a risk yeah
you might get away with it
it's a risk yeah
but it kicks yeah
it really kicks yeah
Yeah, thanks for the input
Thanks for the call
The blood of a stone
Cold to the touch, right
Right down the bone
And true, you might get away with it
It's a risk, it's a risk yeah
It drips down the sleeve
Gets under your nails
A chip off a tooth
The smells of the city
They ride in your suit
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
But I don't think I want to
and true, you might run away with it, it's a risk it's a risk yeah
because it kicks yeah
it really kicks yeah
it's electric twist, it's electric twist (repeats)
He says don't think don't talk Don't think
Don't think don't talk Don't think
Don't think don't talk
But I don't think I want to
and true, letcha get away with it, it's a risk it's a risk yeah
you might get away with it
it's a risk yeah
but it kicks yeah
it really kicks yeah

maybe.
i think it's about being with someone that brings about your wilder, more carefree side in a relationship versus all the relationships that came before it, which are now considered monotonous and dull.
he's telling her to let go of that boring, processed way of being with someone, and to take it as it comes and just go with everything ("don't think, don't talk").
and she's saying how he might get away with it, and even though he's making her feel good, ultimately their relationship might not last, but she's okay with that, accepting that it's part of love ("it's a risk, it's a risk, yeah").
a song about being with someone who's not like the others. someone who changes your way of viewing love and dating, and it feels good. it's a vibrant, crazy experience.
I love this song this is my theme song for my stuck up boyfriend
oh my! super legal essa! @.@
very sexy vocal performance.
I think it's about a relationship with someone who she's got nothing in common with, but the physical side of things is good and exciting - "and the touch of your lips it's a shock not a kiss / it's electric twist" etc.
I've always thought this song is a metaphor for the record industry. Kind of like Sara Bareille's "Love Song". It's funny because this song is so different from her typical material.. more upbeat / "wild"..and the whole "don't think don't talk".. though she's okay with the change. "It's a risk, but is kicks." I don't know, just another way of looking at it.
