Lyrics for Flick Of The Wrist
"Dislocate your spine if you don't sign," he says "I'll have you seeing double" Mesmerize you when he's tongue-tied Simply with those eyes Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise Don't look back Don't look back It's a rip-off Flick of the wrist and you're dead, baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time, honey Baby, you've been had "Intoxicate your brain with what I'm saying If not, you'll lie in knee-deep trouble" "Prostitute yourself," he says "Castrate your human pride Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried" Don't look back Don't look back It's a rip-off Work my fingers to my bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Seduce you with his money-make machine Cross-collateralize, (big-time money, money) Reduce you to a muzak-fake machine Then the last goodbye It's a rip-off Flick of the wrist and you're dead, baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist - he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time, honey
