Dire Straits - 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
Theyīre all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I donīt 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 Loverīs Lane
And you never did have the inteligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain

I donīt 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 itīs 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 weīre standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottleīs empty and thereīs nothing left

I donīt 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
