Casino Blues Testo

the eiffel tower built to quarter scale
the freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale
I tapped a bottle against the safety rail killing time
and you were like a walking compliment
tall in stature and exceptionally well-read
I don't need glasses and I call you down
oh come on
and oh so empty were the faces
of the dealers and the waitresses all around
you said that all these things you've learned to ignore
the hidden cameras on the casino floor
the luck gets paid for behind hotel doors
oh come on
pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
the people stare into their eyes
and they feed them little pride and then they go
the never-ending twilight
they base it where the sun has never spilt
you said that you were lonely
then we kissed like lonely people do
you said this city has a beating heart
that pushes people down the boulevard
they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
in a desert for a dollar bill
those foolish dreams you know they plague me still
oh come on
and oh so empty were the faces
of the dealers and the waitresses all around
