DIRE STRAITS lyrics : "Your Latest Trick"

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks

Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash

And most of the taxis and the !@^%s
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 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 inteligence to use

The twelve keys hanging 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 standing outside of this wonderland

Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and 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
