Chilly Gonzales, Jarvis Cocker - A Trick of the Light lyrics
[Chilly Gonzales, Jarvis Cocker - A Trick of the Light lyrics]
Ben-Hur is raiding the honesty bar
Cleopatra is taking a shower
Dinosaurs devour room service
Whilst astronauts explore the moon's surface
Isn't it funny it's only a trick of the light
A trick of the light
Remember, sat in the dark
With my arm round your shoulder
The curtains drew back i was bowled over
This is what I had been dreaming about
Life with the boring bit's edited out
I fell in love
Fell in love with this trick of the light
Trick of the light in love at first sight
With this trick of the light
So very lifelike this trick of the light
Yes, it looks so real but it's
Only a trick of the light
A trick of the light
Remember, elephants and angels
Bikers and truckers creatures of the night
And lousy cock-suckers
Kings and queens and sons and lovers
Shoving the lens under the covers
I reached out to touch but you can't
Touch a trick of the light
A trick of the light well I wasted my life
On a trick of the light
Yeah you tricked me alright
Yeah, trick of the light
And I could've sworn you were
Looking straight at me
I could've sworn you were
Speaking my language
I lost it all, I lost it for good
I lost my wife but, that's Hollywood
I lost it all
Thrown away on this trick of the light
Magic box upon which life leaves a stain
Which we can watch again and again
Oh you taught us to kiss
Taught us so many things
Do you mind if I ask:
When do we get to join in? A magic window
A most marvelous confection
But windows are for looking through
Not for checking out your reflection
No I'm not crying I've just
Got something in my eye
Oh, it's a trick of the light
I'm completely alright
It's just a trick of the light
I'm waving goodbye to the love of my life
Oh, what a surprise
The love of my life was a trick of the light
This is the Chateau Marmont message center
Cleopatra is taking a shower
Dinosaurs devour room service
Whilst astronauts explore the moon's surface
Isn't it funny it's only a trick of the light
A trick of the light
Remember, sat in the dark
With my arm round your shoulder
The curtains drew back i was bowled over
This is what I had been dreaming about
Life with the boring bit's edited out
I fell in love
Fell in love with this trick of the light
Trick of the light in love at first sight
With this trick of the light
So very lifelike this trick of the light
Yes, it looks so real but it's
Only a trick of the light
A trick of the light
Remember, elephants and angels
Bikers and truckers creatures of the night
And lousy cock-suckers
Kings and queens and sons and lovers
Shoving the lens under the covers
I reached out to touch but you can't
Touch a trick of the light
A trick of the light well I wasted my life
On a trick of the light
Yeah you tricked me alright
Yeah, trick of the light
And I could've sworn you were
Looking straight at me
I could've sworn you were
