Cute. Comfy. Catastrophic.

"Twisted" from Twister: The Musical
(From "Hey, You Know What Movie Would Make a Good Musical?" at The Zipper Factory)
(Performed and introduced by the exceedingly charming Jason Michael Snow)

I have taken the liberty of transcribing the lyrics.

✯ ✯ ✯

Look at that sky...
She's really talkin' today
Darkly mumblin'
Across the way
Like a... bitter uncle...
Angry at me...

...Recalling memories inappropriately...

LEAVE me alone
I thought I'd already ran from home...

(Cue jaunty piano.)

Remember the breeze blowing through our hair?
That was a time when we both... didn't care (pffffhahaha)
I remember your smile, and that look in your eye
Sent me right to the eye of the storm

Chasin' after something we could never take hold
I was sick of flyin, sick of tryin to be bold
Lost in your hair, and DAMN those eyes
Still haunting me but no longer warm --

Now I'm TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide...
Please don't let my storms collide!
I'm twisted
up
in
side.

OKAY OKAY so wait, universe, get off my back!
I've found a new career and weathercasting's my knack
But something's telling me to stick around...
I guess that I still care

And I know I'm happy with... oh, what's-her-name
No, no no, I really know her name...
...
...
...
...
--OH!
MELISSA!
THERE.

NOW I'M TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide!
PLEASE don't let my storms COLLIDE
I'm twisted up inside...

(Cue jaunty piano change to BRIDGE ARRANGEMENT VAGUELY REMINISCENT OF WICKED)

I thought the yellow brick road was far behind me...
The technicolor world of Oz burned so bright...
Emerald City's towers shone so coldly...
And suddenly I'm lost in the grayest night...!

But Dorothy wants to click her heels and fly...
Should I return to the warm expanse of Kansas sky?

Now I'm TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide!
Please don't let my storms collide!
I'm twisted up iiinnnnNNNOW I'M TWISTED,
can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide...
PLEASE don't let my storms collide!

I'm twisted up with her...
Twisted up with her....
Twisted like a--

...

...

TWISTEEEEEEEEEEEER!
