Tricks
Trans. by David Hookham

It made us very happy - but please...

One asks oneself which is it to be; what could it probably have been
Whether the wine poured for us is Austrian,
Bavarian, Hungarian, Happy Hippie, Vegetarian
It's always pure Viennese blood, which serves us well

If I feel like driving crazy in the middle of the night
I smash the party, because I pay the price
That my Bentley and my Penthouse demonstrate that I shouldn't be disturbed
Just because I'm a singer or a star

Oh oh oh oh
You do what you like, whatever you want to

I know exactly what I'm doing, my behaviour is always mine
Tricks, gimme tricks
You know I am alone, all on my own
Tricks
Tricks, yeah, all right
That's the only reason my heart style ticks
Tricks...

Vishnu, Batu, Fu-Manchu too, Hu-Hu, Jonny Manuhutu,
Dr. Wu, Peggy Sue, Randy Andy too
One thing in common when they get up to their tricks
They do it for kicks

So if you ever see me acting like a kid from outer space
and you think of lending a hand
But if you look real close, you'll see that smile on my face
and then I'm sure you'll understand

Oh oh oh oh
You do what you like, whatever you want to

Because I know, I know, you're just a victim, victim, victim of my
Tricks, gimme Tricks, gimme Tricks
You know I am alone, all on my own
Tricks
that's the only reason my heart still ticks

Tricks, ...
Livin' without a trick, any other trick Tricks, ...
