Cheap Tricks

She's fingering the petals on her dress

It was another lesson in the rise and fall of holiness

Her hands are shaking and her hair is a mess

Oh, yeah he pulled a cheap trick

The car has come and its taken her away

And she won't tell a soul cos she knows what they would say

Cos it gets a little tricky between blame and ricochet

Boy, it was a cheap trick

Boy, it was a cheap trick

Oh, lower than lonely

Slower, girl, slowly

You can just break them down

Oh, lower than lonely

Slower, girl, slowly

You can just turn them round

And all their cheap tricks

She smiles as she fumbles for the keys

And she won't look back up into that window when she leaves

If it's a choice between a martyr or a refugee

Oh, yeah she knows some sweet tricks

Yeah she knows some sweet tricks

Oh, lower than lonely

Slower, girl, slowly

You can just break them down

Oh, lower than lonely

Slower, girl, slowly

You can just turn them round

And all their cheap tricks

The night falls like a satin petticoat

And the bare bulb glows onto the letter that she wrote

Cos it takes a lot of oxygen to help you stay afloat

That or one more cheap trick

That or one more cheap trick

Oh, lower than lonely

Slower, girl, slowly

You can just break them down

Oh, lower than lonely

Slower, girl, slowly

You can just turn them round

Turn them round

And all their cheap tricks

And all their cheap tricks

And all their cheap tricks

And all their cheap tricks
