Your Latest Trick
Lyricist:Mark Knopfler
All the late night bargains have been struck Between the satin beaus and their belles Prehistoric garbage trucks Cut the city to themselves Echoes roars dinosaurs They're all doin' the monster mash The taxis and the whores Are only takin' calls for cash
I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick All I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
Now my door was standin' open Security was laid back and lax Yeah my heart got 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 intelligence to use Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The twelve keys handing off my chain
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 standin' outside of this wonderland So bereaved and so bereft Finally come to understand The bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened It was faster than the eyes can flick But all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick
