about

Twister was inspired by Celia Lashilie's book 'The Journey To Prison'.

lyrics

he looked up from her body
put his hand to his head
saw the blood on his fingers
I knew that she was dead
she was lying on a pillow
of butter yellow lace
her golden hair all crimson
crushed across her face

why’d you do it John
take her life like that
she was all I had you knew that
why’d you do it John
take her life like that
she was all I had
I want my mother back

she was kind and simple
he was cold and sad
he’d rage like a twister
when me and my mother laughed
when he started drinking
he’d call my mother names
then when he got fired
he said she was to blame
