Hows Tricks

Letra

Intro



verse 1

The white hand in the darkened house

Rings a bell that makes the guests drop their cases in fright

A face that seems to laugh alone

Sits in the flames that warm the frozen stretches of night

Bridge 1

The skeleton that smokes, his head half guillotined

Sits there telling jokes, about places he has cleaned



verse 2

The bow tie and the question mark

Set sail to beat the cards that rain around the Chorus girls

The bullets from the golden gun

Appear to penetrate the flesh below the golden curls

Bridge 2

Inside the clear white box, lies a nervous bathing belle

She hope s he ll find the locks, that free her from the world



verse 3

The rabbit with the faded smile

Is listening to the artist playing in the mirrored room

The albums of forgotten songs

Grow dusty in the floodlit shelves somewhere below the moon

Bridge 3

Owls sit on the letters, of his last name in lights

Demons and pacesetters, they laugh into the night
