A twist in the tale

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

As you watch from your house on the hill
World keeps spinning around you and you're standing still
And a thought never enters your mind
Something happened once in my life
A fading picture of you that's so hard to describe
I've been where the sun never shines
That's alright, there's a change in the story, Ouh!
That's alright, there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale

Face in the mirror, head in the clouds
Hanging onto a dream that you can't do without
As it drops like a stone without trace
Ha! Give what you want, take what you need
Squeezing so hard there's no room to breathe
And your flavour has fallen from grace
It's alright, a change in the story, Ouh! Ouh!
That's alright, there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale oh

I saw you dancing, dancing on air
You were lost in the starlight
Ooh no one but me really cared

Every question turns out a lie
Can't you swallow the truth for once in your life?
I loved you but don't ask me why
It's alright, there's a change in the story
That's alright, there's a change in the plan
It's alright, there's a change in the story
It's alright, there's a change in the plan
A twist in the tale - Ha!
