[Intro]
Am E Am Am E Am
Am E Am Am E Am
[Verse 1]
Am Fmaj7 E
The white hand in the darkened house
Dm C6 Am E Am
Rings a bell that makes the guests drop their cases in fright
Am Fmaj7 E
A face that seems to laugh alone
Dm C6 Am E Am
Sits in the flames that warm the frozen stretches of night
[Bridge 1]
C Dm
The skeleton that smokes, his head half guillotined
E F
Sits there telling jokes, about places he has cleaned
[Chorus]
C G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
Bb F Am E Am Am E Am
What kicks! It sticks! Loud ticks
[Verse 2]
Am Fmaj7 E
The bow tie and the question mark
Dm C6 Am E Am
Set sail to beat the cards that rain around the chorus girls
Am Fmaj7 E
The bullets from the golden gun
Dm C6 Am E Am
Appear to penetrate the flesh below the golden curls
[Bridge 2]
C Dm
Inside the clear white box, lies a nervous bathing belle
E F
She hope's he'll find the locks, that free her from the world
[Chorus]
C G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
Bb F Am E Am Am E Am
What kicks! It sticks! Loud ticks
[Verse 3]
Am Fmaj7 E
The rabbit with the faded smile
Dm C6 Am E Am
Is listening to the artist playing in the mirrored room
Am Fmaj7 E
The albums of forgotten songs
Dm C6 Am E Am
Grow dusty in the floodlit shelves somewhere below the moon
[Bridge 3]
C D
Owls sit on the letters, of his last name in lights
E F
Demons and pacesetters, they laugh into the night
[Chorus]
C G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
Bb F
What kicks! It sticks!
C G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
Bb F
What kicks! It sticks!
C G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
Bb F
What kicks! It sticks!
C G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
Bb F
What kicks! It sticks!
