Simple Twist of Fate - Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - February/March 1978

They sat together in the park
 As the evening sky grew dark
 She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
 'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
 And watched out for a simple twist of fate
 They walked along by the old canal
 A little confused, I remember well
 And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright
 He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
 Moving with a simple twist of fate
 ♪
 A saxophone someplace far off played
 As she was walkin' by the arcade
 As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up,
 She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
 And forgot about a simple twist of fate
 He woke up, the room was bare
 He didn't see her anywhere
 He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide
 Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
 Brought on by a simple twist of fate
 ♪
 He hears the ticking of the clocks
 And walks along with a parrot that talks
 Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
 Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
 Once more for a simple twist of fate
 ♪
 People tell me it's a sin
 To know and feel too much within
 I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
 She was born in spring, but I was born too late
 Blame it on a simple twist of fate
