♪♫ Hey, at six a.m. this morning, you know the man knocked at my door

I screamed into his ear, "Now looka here, I'm not the guy you're searching for"

But I got taken, yeah I got taken just the same

When it comes to getting sleep at night

You know I just can't seem to win

I went down to the zoo where I thought that I might hide

I met a friendly grizzly bear, who took me for a ride

And I got mangled, yeah I got pushed all out of shape

Yes, when it comes to being sociable

I just can't seem to win

Climbing up Mt. Everest to get away from all the noise

I slipped on a banana peel man and I almost got destroyed

And I was, I was worried, oh yes, I was worried all the way down to the ground

When it comes to holding safety nets

Nobody ever seems to be around

Well I put myself together, you know I found that it was best

If I had no longer tried to be just like all the rest

Because I'm, I'm twisted, yeees and I dig the way I am

Don't ask me about being normal you know I, I just no longer give a damn ♪♫

I love that song... still. I was yelling TWISTED! TWISTED! for the encore at Steppenwolfs Valley Forge Music Fair concert, (197?) but it didn't happen. I think I got a smile from John Kay, but they played something more popular. Valley Forge was a round, 3000 capacity venue with a rotating stage in which every seat was a good seat. Too bad it's gone.

You're welcome Gazza ☺ Can't feel the raised wolf on my copy? I do have a slightly 'textured' copy of Rest In Peace, where a studio version of this appears. (It's not the proper fully textured cover that I originally had though). Got ripped off online on that one...ggrrrrr... but now...I just no longer give a damn ;-j

I traded Meat Loaf Bat out of hell for this album in 77'. I don't even feel bad about to this day. One of my favorites.

Yea....incredible alright! I got to three of their UK gigs, early '70's. "The Best Of Steppenwolf" album really is a misnomer, init : D ~ "Steppenwolf - Live -" is the best of Steppenwolf ~ ☺
