Trick of the Wrist Songtext

von Michael Monroe

I had a nasty habit
It didn't work for me
I shook it off like an apple shaken out of a tree
I used to spend the good times
On cheap company
Now I get all my energy for free

Now people tell me I ain't ageing
I'm keeping thin and my looks ain't fading
I take life and I ain't wasting time on no man

Like a trick of the wrist
Trick of the wrist

I used to live on the dark side
I used to tow the line
Now I don't give the negative my time
I used to sleep in the daytime
If I was even able to close my eyes
Now I let reality get me high.

I used to burn all my cash gettin' wasted
Now I'm eternally fascinated
Check out the razzamanazz in place
There ain't no persuading

There's trick of the wrist
Trick of the wrist
(trick of the wrist)
Trick of the wrist

Exactly

I caught a buzz off a morning breaking
I take the trip that the music's taking
I'm on my feet and my heart is racing
Ain't no mystery

It's just trick of the wrist
