Schemes and Lies

One step forward 
Two steps back
Swipe his card
And push him back
Three moves left
Four moves right
I call this theft
But never at night
Five meters down
Six meters high
This pretty red gown
Sees through your lie
Seven dazzling smiles
Eight pouty lips
A hundred miles
For a thousand trips
