All of my friends 

Not the ones I've got 

Everyone has run out hot and cold and hot 

Monkey's got fire 

Feathers on the top 

Burning giant mandolin 

Over the pigeon drop 



Oldest game around 

Newest trick in town 

Sleight of hand 

Oldest game around 

Newest trick in town 

Sleight of hand 



The air is perfumed 

Burning much too slow 

Filling up the room 

Stumbling like a rose 

Standing on the street 

Watching the time roll past 

You can smell the love 

And it's disappearing fast 



Oldest game around 

Newest trick in town 

Sleight of hand 

Oldest trick in town 

Newest game around 

Sleight of hand 



It's a symphony of growls 

A private collection of invisible howls 

The oldest game around 

A little sticky and totally sound 

The air is perfumed 

Burning much too slow 

Filling up the room 

Stumbling like a rose 



Oldest game around 

Newest trick in town 

Sleight of hand
