When the telephone rang, I was half asleep
It made a deafening noise
You had that catch in your voice
Trick candle, trick candle
but you refuse to say it by name.
You always take what you want,
you take everything but the brain.
Check the candle, check the candle
So now I'm taking that walk,
I see that guy on your block
he's fresh from the asylum
These two girls pass me by
They're fresh from Long Island
in the middle of the night?
A real man, he would have stayed in bed
I say a real man would not be here,
Lucky for you, you call me instead
Trick or candle, trick or candle
The flame keeps coming back
The flame keeps coming back
Trick or candle, trick or candle
The flame keeps coming back
