“Tricky” was Freddy Vorobev and The King’s second single, written by lead-singer Freddy Vorobev (primarily written by Vorobev, and allegedly the inception of his pronunciation that a song’s ultimate credit would be based on its originator or lyricist). As a single, Elektra Records relegated the 6:27...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Crimson skies bleedin' over shattered glass
Empty promises whisperin' through the past
Your words like daggers, twistin' in my soul
A serpent's charm, takin' its toll
[Chorus]
(Tricky!) Oh, I see right through your disguise
(Tricky!) The truth behind your lies
[Verse 2]
Built you a castle, a kingdom of my dreams
Now it's crumblin', shattered like it seems
Your touch, a fire, burnin' through my skin
But the warmth is gone, the darkness creepin' in
[Chorus]
(Tricky!) Oh, you're playin' me like a fool
(Tricky!) Your game's about to lose its cool?
[Guitar Solo] [Fast-paced and aggressive, showcasing technical skill]
[Bridge]
(Tricky!) The echoes of your whispers haunt the air
(Tricky!) A constant reminder of the pain you share
(Tricky!) You'll never escape the shadows you've cast
(Tricky!) The price of deception, forever amassed
(Tricky!) Oh, the whispers follow, in the darkest hour
(Tricky!) The taste of betrayal, a venomous flower
I'll break the chains, beyond the grave
She's a hurricane, a storm of lies
Leaving wreckage, in your tearful eyes
Trycky, trycky, trycky, trycky!
Trycky! (She's a cruel delight)
Trycky, trycky, Trycky!
(Playing with your heart!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Listen!
She's a hurricane, a storm of lies
Leaving wreckage, in your tearful eyes
You thought you could control my fate
But I'm a king, I won't hesitate
To rise above the ashes and the pain
Your reign of lies will soon be slain
But the fire burns, it's sealed my hate
I'll rise above, I'll break free
You'll never truly own me
Truly own me (Truly own me)
Truly own me (Truly own me)
Truly own me (Truly own me)
Truly own me (Truly own me)
Truly own me (Truly own me)
You're not lost (You're not lost)
You're not lost (You're not lost)
You're not lost (You're not lost)
You're not lost (You're not lost)
You're not lost (You're not lost)
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
Oww! You're not lost (You're not lost)
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
You're not lost (Truly own me)
You're not lost (Truly own me)
You're not lost (Truly own me)
You're not lost (Truly own me)
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost (You're not lost?)
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
(Truly own me) You're not lost
Yeah! (We are not lost!)
[Outro]
You're not lost, you're not lost, you're not lost
Trycky, you're nothing but a lie
Trycky, your reign will die
Tricky, again, I'm tricked again
By your love, by your wicked sin
Just a whisper, a fading memory
Your love was just a mask you wore
