All the late night
bargains have been
struck between the
satin beaus and
their belles
Prehistoric garbage
trucks have the city
to themselves
Echoes and roars
dinosaurs they're all
doing the monster mash
Most of the taxis and
most of the whores are
only taking calls for cash
Woah I don't know
how it happened it
all took place so quick
But all I can do is
hand it to you
and your latest trick
Well now my door
was standing open
security was laid
back and lax
It was only my heart
that got a broken you
must have had a pass
key made out of wax
You played a robbery
with insolence and I
played the blues in
twelve bars down
Lover's Lane
And you never did
have the intelligence
to use the twelve keys
hanging off of my chain
Woah I don't know
how it happened
It all took place
so quick
But all I can do is
hand it to you
and your latest trick
Well now it's past
last call for alcohol
past recall has been
here and gone
The landlord he
finally paid us all
the satin jazzmen have
put away their horns
And we're standing
outside of this
wonderland looking so
bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum
when he finally
understands the
bottle's empty and
there's nothing left
Woah I don't know
how it happened
it was faster than
the eye could flick
But all I can do
is hand it to you
and your latest trick
