What's The Trick
Jack Anthony White
What's the trick?
In making my love stick
What's the trick?
Two gentlemen of elegant appearance
In a state of bustitude
I give them coffee-colored crystals
That'll change their attitude
I'm using appropriate compression for
My inappropriate confessions for
Someone I guess who might need it more
I don't even know what I'm doing it for
This is my first
My worst
My past
And my last
Imperfect effort
One hundred insults
Left on my windshield in the morning
Release my beast
'Cause the rain never came and washed them away
If I die tomorrow, what did I do today?
You want fresh air?
You won't find it this way
Check your left
Check your right
Check your rear-view mirror
Check it every night
Stomping on a box that I thought was empty
But there was something sharp inside
Something sharp inside
Sharp inside
Quit bolting your food
Don't be rude
Plus one and minus one equals zero
That's a defeatist attitude
I'm sick of this
Dead to the world, but
Not to you, but
I'm dead to the world, but
Not to you
What's the trick?

Imperfect effort

Left on my windshield in the morning

Stomping on a box that I thought was empty

But there was something sharp inside
Aber es war etwas Scharfes drin
Something sharp inside
Etwas Scharfes drin
Sharp inside
Scharf drin
Quit bolting your food
Hör auf, dein Essen hinunterzuschlingen
Don't be rude
Sei nicht unhöflich

Nicht für dich, aber

Ich bin tot für die Welt, aber
Not to you
Nicht für dich
