Your Latest Trick Lyrics

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
[ Dire Straits Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.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

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