Cheap Tricks Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

She's fingering the petals on her dress 

It was another lesson in the rise and fall of holiness 

Her hands are shaking and her hair is a mess 

Oh, yeah he pulled a cheap trick 

The car has come and its taken her away 

And she won't tell a soul cos she knows what they would say 

Cos it gets a little tricky between blame and ricochet 

Boy, it was a cheap trick 

Boy, it was a cheap trick 

Oh, lower than lonely 

Slower, girl, slowly 

You can just break them down 

Oh, lower than lonely 

Slower, girl, slowly 

You can just turn them round 

And all their cheap tricks 

She smiles as she fumbles for the keys 

And she won't look back up into that window when she leaves 

If it's a choice between a martyr or a refugee 

Oh, yeah she knows some sweet tricks 

Yeah she knows some sweet tricks 

Oh, lower than lonely 

Slower, girl, slowly 

You can just break them down 

Oh, lower than lonely 

Slower, girl, slowly 

You can just turn them round 

And all their cheap tricks 

The night falls like a satin petticoat 

And the bare bulb glows onto the letter that she wrote 

Cos it takes a lot of oxygen to help you stay afloat 

That or one more cheap trick 

That or one more cheap trick 

Oh, lower than lonely 

Slower, girl, slowly 

You can just break them down 

Oh, lower than lonely 

Slower, girl, slowly 

You can just turn them round 

Turn them round 

And all their cheap tricks 

And all their cheap tricks 

And all their cheap tricks 

And all their cheap tricks
