Sleight of Hand Lyrics

F# G (slide to) A
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
F# G (slide to) A
Oldest game around
F# G (slide to) A
Newest trick in town
F# G (slide to) A
Sleight of hand
(repeat)
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
F# G (slide to) A
Oldest game around
F# G (slide to) A
Newest trick in town
F# G (slide to) A
Sleight of hand
(repeat)
Trumpet solo: A G (same rhythm guitar as ending)
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
F# G (slide to) A
Oldest game around
F# G (slide to) A
Newest trick in town
F# G (slide to) A
Sleight of hand
(repeat)
Trumpet solo
