4. Flick of the wrist (Maida Studio, London, 16.10.1974)
Words and music by Freddie Mercury
Dislocate your spine if you don't sign He says I'll have you seeing double Mesmerize you when he's tongue tied Simply with those eyes ooh Synchronize your minds and see The beast within him rise Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had
Intoxicate your brain with what I'm sayin' If not you'll lie in knee deep trouble Prostitute yourself he says Castrate your human pride ooh Sacrifice your leisure days Let me squeeze you 'till you've dried Don't look back don't look back It's a rip off
Work my fingers to my bones I scream with pain I still make no impression Seduce you with his money make machine Cross collateralise big time money money Reduce you to a muzak fake machine Then the last goodbye Flick of the wrist and you're dead baby Blow him a kiss and you're mad Flick of the wrist he'll eat your heart out A dig in the ribs and then a kick in the head He's taken an arm and taken a leg All this time honey baby you've been had
