Elliott SmithCupid’s Trick Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's shaking down
I'm absent and numb from shock
Reaching around for the hands of the clock
Sugarlight
[Chorus]
Lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up
[Verse 2]
Cupid's trick comes down to shake and deal
The stupid kick that makes me reel
Sugarlight
[Chorus]
Lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up
[Verse 3]
She's shaking down
It's never over and done
So kick me, cave me in
I'm no one
[Chorus]
Lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up, it's my lie
Sugar, lip me up
