Michael Monroe. Trick of the wrist

I had a nasty habit

it didn't work for me

I shook it off like an apple shaken out of a tree

I used to spend the good times

on cheap company

now I get all my energy for free

Now people tell me I ain't ageing

I'm keeping thin and my looks ain't fading

I take life and I ain't wasting time on no man

Like a trick of the wrist

Trick of the wrist

I used to live on the dark side

I used to tow the line

Now I don't give the negative my time

I used to sleep in the daytime

if I was even able to close my eyes

Now I let reality get me high.

I used to burn all my cash gettin' wasted

Now I'm eternally fascinated

Check out the razzamanazz in place

There ain't no persuading

There´s just a trick of the wrist

Trick of the wrist

I caught a buzz off a morning breaking

I take the trip that the music's taking

I'm on my feet and my heart is racing

Ain't no mystery

It´s just a trick of the wrist
