A Trick of the Night Lyrics
When the day is over, and the work is done
Well it's a different story as the darkness comes around
I tried to let you know, you're going the wrong way
And the streets you thought would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through, you'd even try to sell your soul
Everywhere you go, it's the long way
Now you're no longer just the boy next door
When they were falling in love with that clean-cut smile
Change of style, just for a little while
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger, can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger, must be a trick of the night, of the night
Well, its a laugh a minute and you can't decide
Between the burning question and the fortune in his eyes
You never let it show or take it the wrong way
Sometimes you wonder what you came here for
Oh, they could tear you apart with those bare-faced lies
Can't disguise, all the hurt you're feeling inside
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger, can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger, must be a trick of the night, of the night
(Must be a trick) Of the night
Well it's a different story as the darkness comes around
I tried to let you know, you're going the wrong way
And the streets you thought would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through, you'd even try to sell your soul
Everywhere you go, it's the long way
Now you're no longer just the boy next door
When they were falling in love with that clean-cut smile
Change of style, just for a little while
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger, can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger, must be a trick of the night, of the night
Well, its a laugh a minute and you can't decide
Between the burning question and the fortune in his eyes
You never let it show or take it the wrong way
Sometimes you wonder what you came here for
Oh, they could tear you apart with those bare-faced lies
Can't disguise, all the hurt you're feeling inside
Whatcha doing, hey whatcha doing
Walking through danger, can't see the wrong or the right
Whatcha doing, tell me whatcha doing
Can't be a stranger, must be a trick of the night, of the night
(Must be a trick) Of the night
When the day is over, and the work is done
Well it's a different story as the darkness comes around
And the streets you thought would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through, you'd even try to sell your soul
Well it's a different story as the darkness comes around
And the streets you thought would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through, you'd even try to sell your soul
