    Story Behind the Song
    Another song that Susan Mack and I used to perform in New Orleans. I've tried other arrangements of the song, but this one is driving and direct. The vocals are doubled in octaves, a technique I've always liked, and the drum sequence is one of my best fo r a tight rock feel..

    Lyrics
    You've got some tricks up your sleeve
    The marks on your cards are showin'
    But I don't mind being deceived
    By an imposter with spirits like you
    By a woman that looks like you do

    Come in from the cold tonight
    My curtains aren't made from iron
    It would be p erfectly right
    With an agent as quiet as you
    With a woman that looks like you do

    (chorus) Chasin' the dragon
    "Yellow candy papers, you want?
    Only two dollars,"
    (Then he smiled), "Yes, and
    Blue is three American."

    The Hong Kong trade is mine
    But I'm perfectly willing to share
    Some information and some wine
    With a spy with secrets like you
    With a woman that looks like you do
