about

Written by Mark Knopfler

lyrics

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 most of the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

Chorus: 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 wide open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart that got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in 12 bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The 12 keys hanging off of my chain

Chorus:

Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazz men 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

Chorus: I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But all I can do is hand it to you and your latest trick
