your latest trick

• (bkz: brothers in arms)
  
  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 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 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
  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 bottles empty and theres nothing left
  
  i don`t know how it happened
  it was faster than the eye could flick
  but now all i can do is hand it to you
  and your latest trick
