Zywa Twistering

There is always something going on
but what can I do about it?

Dancing on the pedals
I already have to pull
in and out so many registrations
hammering the deliberate
score parade on 168 keys

I twister the best years
of my life, it's a treat
I don't want to miss
Yes, have a look
at my bald spot, do dream
indecent thoughts

I persevere
and you are out
