All the late night bargains have been struck
between the satin beaus and their belles
and prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
and most of the taxis and the whores
are only taking calls for cash
I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
but all I can do is hand it to you
and your latest trick
My door was standing open
security was laid back and lax
but it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
and I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
and you never did have the intelligence to use
the twelve keys hanging off my chain
I don't know how it happenedIt all took place so quick
but all I can do is hand it to you
and your latest trick
Now it's past last call for alcohol
past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
the satin jazzmen have put away their horns
and we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
the bottle's empty and there's nothing left
I don't know how it happened
between the satin beaus and their belles
and prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves

and most of the taxis and the whores
are only taking calls for cash

It was faster than the eye could flick

Todos los negocios nocturnos han sido acabados,
entre vistosos dandis y sus bellas acompañantes.
Y los prehistóricos camiones de basura,
tienen toda la ciudad para ellos.
Ecos de dinosaurios...
Todo contribuye a la masa monstruosa.
Y la mayoría de los taxis y las putas
solo atienden llamadas por dinero.
No se como es que pasó,
sucedió tan rápido...
Todo lo que puedo hacer
es confiar en vos
y en tu último truco.
Mi puerta estaba abierta,
la seguridad estaba tranquila y relajada,
pero solo mi corazón se rompió.
Debiste tener una llave maestra hecha de cera,
jugaste a robar con insolencia
y yo tocaba blues, en doce bares,
allí abajo de Lover's Lane
y nunca tuviste suficiente inteligencia como para usar
las doce llaves que colgaban de mi cadena.
No se como ocurrió,
sucedió tan rápido...
Pero todo lo que puedo hacer
es confiar en vos,
y en tu último truco.
Ahora ya es tarde para seguir bebiendo,
los recuerdos del pasado han estado aquí y se han ido...
El dueño finalmente nos pagó a todos,
los músicos de jazz han guardado sus trompetas
y salimos de este maravilloso mundo
tan afligidos y pobres,
como un vagabundo del Bowery cuando por fin entiende
que la botella está vacía y no queda nada más.
No se como es que pasó...
Fue más rápido de lo que el ojo pudo captar...
Pero ahora solo puedo confiar en vos,
y en tu último truco.
