Flick of the Wrist lyrics

[Segue: Guitar Solo and Piano Intro]

[Verse 1]
"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

[Pre-Chorus]
(Don't look back)
(Don't look back)
It's a rip-off

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 2]
"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"
[Pre-Chorus]
(Don't look back)
(Don't look back)
It's a rip-off

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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)

[Chorus]
(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
