The Who - Trick Of The Light lyrics
TRICK OF THE LIGHT
The Who
Wide awake in the middle of the night
Wide awake in the middle of the night
I wonder how she?s feelin?
I wonder how she?s feelin?
Is it just a trick of the light
Is it just a trick of the light
Or is her ceiling peeling?
Or is her ceiling peeling?
She?s sitting up in bed, shakin? her head
She?s sitting up in bed, shakin? her head
At a copy of ?true confessions?
At a copy of true confessions
Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale
Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale
To a woman of her profession
To a woman of her profession
But was I all right? (was I all right? )
But was I all right? (was I all right? )
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right? )
Was I all right? (was I all right? )
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Or was it just another trick of the light?
Or was it just another trick of the light?
But was I all right? (was I all right? )
But was I all right? (was I all right? )
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right? )
Was I all right? (was I all right? )
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Or was it just another trick of the light?
Or was it just another trick of the light?
Come on, tell me
Come on, tell me
What?s a nice girl like you doin? in a place like this?
What?s a nice girl like you doin? in a place like this?
They don?t make girls like you no more
They don?t make girls like you no more
And I?d like to get to know you
And I?d like to get to know you
On closer terms than this
On closer terms than this
But I guess you?ve heard it all before
But I guess you?ve heard it all before
Lady of the night
Lady of the night
Won?t you steal away with me?
Won?t you steal away with me?
Lady of the night
Lady of the night
Won?t you steal away with me?
Won?t you steal away with me?
The money?s lyin? on the floor, she looks at me
The money?s lyin? on the floor, she looks at me
Shakes her head and sighs
Shakes her head and sighs
Out of time, out the door
Out of time, out the door
Red light shinin? in my eyes
Red light shinin? in my eyes
But was I all right? (was I all right? )
But was I all right? (was I all right? )
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right? )
Was I all right? (was I all right? )
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face
All right?
All right?
But was I all right?
But was I all right?
All right?
All right?
