What’s the Trick?

[Chorus] What's the trick? In making my love stick What's the trick? [Verse 1] Two gentlemen of elegant appearance In a state of bustitude I give them coffee-colored crystals That'll change their attitude I'm using appropriate compression for My inappropriate confessions for Someone I guess who might need it more I don't even know what I am doing it for [Verse 2] This is my first My worst My past And my last Imperfect effort [Verse 3] One hundred insults Left on my windshield in the morning Release my beast 'Cause the rain never came and washed them away [Verse 4] If I die tomorrow What did I do today? You want fresh air? You won't find it this way Check your left, check your right Check your rear-view mirror Check it every night [Verse 5] Stomping on a box that I thought was empty But there was something sharp inside Something sharp inside Sharp inside [Verse 6] Quit bolting your food Don't be rude Plus one and minus one equals zero That's a defeatist attitude I'm sick of this Dead to the world but Not to you but I'm dead to the world but Not to you [Chorus] What's the trick? To making my love stick What's the trick? Ah What's the trick? What's the trick? In making my love stick What's the trick?
