Additional information
This was a reworked version of the song Balloonatic, the very first song Muse released, in 1997. It was recorded in late 1996 and is included on the Newton Abbot demo. By the time Twin was released, Matthew Bellamy was unaware that it had ever been released under the name Balloonatic.[1]
The name Balloonatic came from a children's television programme at the time the music was written. After Bellamy wrote the lyrics, the song was renamed 'Twin'.[1]
The bassline to this song bears similarity with Radiohead's "My Iron Lung".

Lyrics
Your warmth Your warmth is so deep, Your gaze beams a hole into me Controlling again Unseparated twins Controlling again You've sucked All the breath out of me You'll squeeze all the life out of me Controlling again Unseparated twins Controlling again Controlling again Unseparated twins You might've been... Come gentle, slowly, Down tonight
Balloonatic
You came, You came, you scorched her You came, unstained you adore her United again Like separated twins United again You You will remember She knows, she knows you want her United again Like separated twins United again United again Like separated twins You can be... Come gentle, slowly, Down tonight
