Trick of the century
Lyrics & Music: Per Malmberg

Lie the way you are laying there
Like lies are laid in starving hands
Speak the words of tender care
Like lies are fed where man's pride stands

Cry the way the muse would cry
To fill the bard with endless prose
Die like eager sparrows fly
And death will fill me head to toes

Welcome to the circus, we've got fun and games
Take your pick and make your move
Feel your way, exchange your names
Welcome to the carnival, everything is free
Make your effort, take your aim
Seek your pleasure, you will see

Join the game, the endless game
Spin the wheel and roll the dice
Join the game, the shameless game
Dance the reel, indulge your vice
Join the game, the endless game
Taste the fruit and drink the wine
Join the game, the shameless game
Feel the tongue around your spine

Welcome to the market, we've got all in store
Set your sights for pleasure land, leave your doubts there at the door

Lie the way she was laying there
Same lies are laid in starving hands
Cover my sighs in your flowing hair
Let's meet our mutual demands

Embrace the knight who is longing to find
something to ease his despair
Shelter his shame in the depths of your soul
Take him in to your care
Trust his words and heal his wounds
Give yourself to him and see
That you've been fooled in the game that we call
The trick of the century

Welcome to the circus.....
