“Sleight of Hand” is the opening track on Duff Thompson’s 2020 debut record “Haywire,” from Mashed Potato Records. It details a relationship that Duff wants to keep going, but its future seems uncertain.
Set myself on fire
Don't you like the way I love you, babe?
Call me in the morning and I'm on my way
But have I lost my way?
I'm kicking the same old stone again
Hang me on a wire til' I don't know when
But let me lay one night
Forget about tomorrow til' it comes I do
Yesterday's coming and it don't like you
Am I dreaming?
Don't you like the way I love you, babe?
Don't you like the way I love you, babe?
[Instrumental Break]
Sleight of hand
I've worked so hard to defend my claim
And there ain't nothing that'll sting the same
Against my will
I'm kicking the same old stone again
Baby, let me love you til' I don't know when
Baby, let me love you til' I don't know when
Sleight of Hand was written by Duff Thompson.
