Cheap Tricks

Well, she's fingering the petals on her dress
It was another lesson in the rise and fall of holiness
Hands are shaking and her hair is a mess
Oh, yeah, he pulled a cheap trick

The car has come and it's taken her away
And she won't doubt a soul 'cause she knows what they would say
'Cause it gets a little tricky between blame and ricochet
Boy, it was a cheap trick
Boy, it was a cheap trick

And oh, low, the lonely
Slow, go slowly
You can just break them down
And oh, low, the lonely
Slow, go slowly
You can just turn them round
And all the cheap tricks

Well, 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

And oh, low, the lonely
Slow, go slowly
You can just break them down
And oh, low, the lonely
Slow, go slowly
You can just turn them round
And all the cheap tricks

The night falls like a satin petticoat
And the bed bulb glows onto the letter that she wrote
'Cause it takes a lot of oxygen to help you stay afloat
Oh, that or one more cheap trick
Yeah, that or one more cheap trick

And oh, low, the lonely
Slow, go slowly
You can just break them down
And oh, low, the lonely
Slow, go slowly
You can just turn them round
Turn them round
And all the cheap tricks
And all the cheap tricks
And all the cheap tricks
And all the cheap tricks
