Cheap Tricks - Thea Gilmore
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
So yeah he pulled a cheap trick
The car has come and
It's 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
