Alice Cooper, Betty Wright - No Tricks lyrics

No tricks up my sleeve
I kicked the downs and now I'm clean
No shakes up my spine
I beat the speed and I dumped the wine

No tracks that was yesterday
I changed my style the way I play
(Don't you believe it) no blues
No depression no more panic
Or obsession

Don't you believe anything he said
All them junkies talk that way
It's just as bad as it was before
I see the man knockin' at his back door

This kid's straight and put on ice
The street corner deals at any price
Come on and check my veins and check my eyes

No tracks that was yesterday
I changed my style the way I play
(Don't you believe it) no blues
No depression no more panic
Or obsession

Some tricks just go away
And other tricks they're here to stay
(Oh don't you know me)

Sometimes my spirit's willin'
The flesh is weak and that's what's killin'

Don't you believe anything he said
All them junkies talk that way
It's just as bad as it was before
I see the man knockin' at his back door
Hey now this kid's straight put on ice
The street corner deals at any price
Come on and check my veins and check my eyes

I tried so hard
But I'm hurting for another fix
It's just this habit i, I can always kick
What do you say there friend?

(Don't you call me) it's just a game
And I can beat it any day
No matter what this lovely lady say
Hey, wanna be my friend?

Some tricks they go away
And other tricks they're here to stay
(Oh don't you know me)

Sometimes my spirit's willin'
My flesh is weak and that's what's killin'
Don't you believe anything he said
All them junkies talk that way
It's just as bad as it was before
I see the man knockin' at his back door

I said this kid's straight and put on ice
The street corner deals at any price
Come on and check my veins and check my eyes
