A Trick Of The Night

When the day is over

And the work is done

Well it's a different story

As the darkness comes around

I tried to let you know

You're going the wrong way

And the streets you thought

Would all be paved with gold

But when the wind cuts through

You'd even try to sell your soul

Everywhere you go

It's the long way

Now you're no longer

Just the boy next door

When they were falling in love

With that clean cut smile

Change of style

Just for a little while

(chorus)

Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing

Walking through danger

Can't see the wrong or the right

Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing

Can't be a stranger

Must be a trick of the night

Well its a laugh a minute

And you can't decide

Between the burning question

And the fortune in his eyes

You never let it show

Or take it the wrong way

Sometimes you wonder

What you came here for

Oh, they could tear you apart

With those bare faced lies

Can't disguise

All the hurt you're feeling inside

(chorus x 2)

Of the night, of the night

Must be a trick of the night

When the day is over

And the work is done

Well it's a different story

As the darkness comes around

And the streets you thought

Would all be paved with gold

But when the wind cuts through

You'd even try to sell your soul

(ad lib)

When the day is over

And the work is done

Well it's a different story

As the darkness comes around

I tried to let you know

You're going the wrong way

And the streets you thought

Would all be paved with gold

But when the wind cuts through

You'd even try to sell your soul

Everywhere you go

It's the long way

Now you're no longer

Just the boy next door

When they were falling in love

With that clean cut smile

Change of style

Just for a little while

(chorus)

Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing

Walking through danger

Can't see the wrong or the right

Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing

Can't be a stranger

Must be a trick of the night

Well its a laugh a minute

And you can't decide

Between the burning question

And the fortune in his eyes

You never let it show

Or take it the wrong way

Sometimes you wonder

What you came here for

Oh, they could tear you apart

With those bare faced lies

Can't disguise

All the hurt you're feeling inside

(chorus x 2)

Of the night, of the night

Must be a trick of the night

When the day is over

And the work is done

Well it's a different story

As the darkness comes around

And the streets you thought

Would all be paved with gold

But when the wind cuts through

You'd even try to sell your soul
