Trick of the Trade Songtext

von Magic Pie

He never knew wrong from right that boy,
And that's what got him in the end.
Daddy said; He's just another reckless youth,
And he'll grow up to be a man, and then...

He'll see the writing on the wall
"If you want - you can get it - you can get it right."
And from that day on he'll heed his call.
"If you want - you can get it - you can get it right."
He'll get it right, -my boy. He'll get it right.

Never looked back over his shoulder,
Crossed the country line even bolder.
Young guns look ahead and to the sky.
Broke his mama's heart young Moulder.
Daddy said; He'll learn when he's older.
Young guns look ahead and to the sky.
Son, look over your shoulder,-
Tryin' to trade a nickel for a dime.

Well it's the trick of the trade
Just to change your view when
All promises made turn into little
Pretty white lies, with no alibies,
And term of payment is long overdue.

Good night - good night - sleep tight!
Sirens whining - this can't be right?
Good night - good night - sleep tight!

He'll see the writing on the wall
"If you want - you can get it - you can get it right."
And from that day on he'll heed his call.
"If you want - you can get it - you can get it right."
He'll get it right,- my boy. He'll get it right.

Never looked back over his shoulder,
Crossed the country line even bolder.
Young guns look ahead and to the sky.
Broke his mama's heart young Moulder.
Daddy said; He'll learn when he's older.
Young guns look ahead and to the sky.
Son, look over your shoulder,-
Tryin' to trade a nickel for a dime.

Good night - good night - sleep tight!
Sirens whining - flickering blue lights.
Good night - good night - sleep tight!
Rest in peace young noble knight.

He never knew wrong from right that boy,
And that's what got him in the end...

Never looked back over his shoulder,
Crossed the country line even bolder.
Young guns look ahead and to the sky.
Broke his mama's heart young Moulder.
Daddy said; He'll learn when he's older.
Young guns look ahead and to the sky.
Son, look over your shoulder,-
Tryin' to trade a nickel for a dime.
