Nigel Stonier - Tricks lyrics

It used to be distance, now it's just miles She used to gasp; now she just smiles You used to heal; now you just fix It used to be magic, now it's just tricks You used to inspire her, now you advise She used to explain; now she justifies It used to be thrilling, now it's just kicks It used to be magic, now it's just tricks Now it's just tricks And, though it's a fine line, you know when you've crossed it Your head's hanging on, but your heart says you've lost it Hard to say when, hard to say how But you and that girl are different now It used to be a fairground, now it's a ride It used to be talent, now it's just pride It used to be answers, now it's boxes and ticks It used to be magic, now it's just tricks Now it's just tricks And, though it's a fine line, you know when you've crossed it Your head's hanging on, but your heart says you've lost it Hard to say when, hard to say how But you and that girl are different now There used to be history, now there's DNA You were Peter Pan, now you're Dorian Grey The wall you were building has turned into bricks It used to be magic, now it's just tricks Now it's just tricks Now it's just tricks
