[Chorus]
What's the trick?
In making my love stick
What's the trick?

[Verse 1]
Two gentlemen of elegant appearance
In a state of bustitude
I give them coffee-colored crystals
That'll 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

[Verse 2]
This is my first
My worst
My past
And my last
Imperfect effort

[Verse 3]
One hundred insults
Left on my windshield in the morning
Release my beast
'Cause the rain never came and washed them away
[Verse 4]
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 rear-view mirror
Check it every night

[Verse 5]
Stomping on a box that I thought was empty
But there was something sharp inside

[Bridge]
Something sharp inside
Sharp inside

[Verse 6]
Quit bolting your food
Don't be rude
Plus one and minus one equals zero
That's a defeatist attitude

[Verse 7]
I'm sick of this
Dead to the world but
Not to you but
I'm dead to the world but
Not to you
[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
What's the trick?
To making my love stick
What's the trick?
Ah

[Chorus]
What's the trick?
What's the trick?
In making my love stick
What's the trick?
