"Your Latest Trick"
(version is chopped slightly)
(to prevent your boredom!)
--
All the late night
bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes n' roars, dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis..
and most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do
is hand it to you
And your latest trick
--
My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart
that gott-ah broken
You must have had a pass key
made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in
twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have
the inteligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain
(mmm mmm)
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do
is hand it to you
And your latest trick
--
Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have
put away their horns
And we're standing outside
of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when
he finally understands
The bottle's empty man
there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But not all I can do
is hand it to you
And your latest trick
