Your Latest Trick - Remastered 1996

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

Echoes roar dinosaurs
They're all doin' the monster mash
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
Are only takin' 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

Well, now my door was standin' open
Security were laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax

You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in 12 bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The 12 keys hangin' off from 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, he finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns

And we're standin' 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 nothin' left

I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick
