Текст песни Evil Twin - Lonnie Brooks

Evil Twin

Ever since I was a child it always been the same
He leaves a path of destruction leaving me to take the blame
When the school burned down back in '73
He's the one who done it but they hung it one
That is the way it's always been
Me and my evil twin, my evil twin

He bought himself a pistol and he held up the corner bar
He took my favorite waitress hostage and then he stole my car
He led the state police on a highway chase
The troopers thought they had him but he got away
Then he cold-cocked a cop with a bottle of Bombay Gin
That was my evil twin, my evil twin

Imagine my surprise when they bust down the door
Say, "You are going downtown, son, you know what for"
Wait a minute, stop, you got the wrong man
The one you are looking for is my evil twin

(Solo)

When they locked my brother up, I laughed 'til I thought I would die
Tried to tell them all about me but they thought he had lied
Everyone agreed that he lost his mind
So they put him away for a long, long time
Then he told all about this down there at the loony bin
About his evil twin, his evil twin, he got a evil twin, his evil twin
(I got away with it. I can do it again. I can do it again.
They don't know us apart.
I can do what I want to do and blame it on my brother.
He's locked up, man.
Played a good trick on him that time, didn't I?
I'm the evil twin. I got away with it again).
