What's the trick?
 In making my love stick
 What's the trick?
 ♪
 Two gentlemen of elegant appearance
 In a state of bustitude
 I give them coffee-colored crystals
 That should 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
 ♪
 This is my first
 My worst, my past
 And my last
 Imperfect effort
 One hundred insults
 Left on my windshield in the morning
 Release my beast
 'Cause the rain never came and washed them away
 ♪
 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 rearview mirror
 Check it every night
 Stomping on a box that I thought was empty
 But there was something sharp inside
 Something sharp inside
 Sharp inside
 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

 What's the trick?
