And her eyes shiver, shift and curve
When she cries, it's like a galeforce
Because she is suffering from a twisted nerve
Twisted nerve
She went and married him when she was only twenty
Twisted nerve
Twisted nerve
We always knew that he would leave her cold and empty
Twisted nerve

(Chorus)
The human heart never skips a beat
The human heart tears her apart
But she'll always be out there waiting

When he talks it's like a perfume
But she knows its a poison gas
So she puts his hand where her heart is
So he can feel it shattering
Like a pane of glass
Twisted nerve
When she found him we all thought she'd got religion
Twisted nerve
Twisted nerve
Hear the sound of prayers coming from the kitchen
Twisted nerve

(Chorus)
The human heart tears her apart
But she'll always be out there waiting
Twisted nerve, twisted nerve, twisted nerve, twisted nerve

Now she waits in the bedroom
She's awake, he's asleep
She treats his heart like an heirloom
He drags hers shivering through the street

(Chorus)
The human heart never skips a beat
The human heart tears her apart
But she'll always be out there waiting
The human heart tears her apart
But she'll always be out there waiting
