Trick of the Light

{Intro: bass riff by John Entwistle}

Wide awake in the middle of the night

I wonder how she's feeling

Is it just a trick of the light

Or is her ceiling peeling?

She's sitting up in bed, shaking her head

At a copy of "True Confessions"

Oh it must seem like a fairy tale

To a woman of her profession

But was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?

Was I all right? (was I all right?)

Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

Or was it just another trick of the light?

{Bass solo: John Entwistle}

What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

They don't make girls like you no more

And I'd like to get to know you on closer terms than this

But I guess you've heard it all before

Lady of the night

Won't you steal away with me?

Lady of the night

Won't you steal away with me?

The money's lying on the floor

She looks at me, shakes her head, and sighs

Out of time, out the door

Red light shining in my eyes

All right?

But was I all right?

All right?
