I'm down to a roll of dimes. i'm stalking the slot that's hot. i keep hearing bells all around me. jingling in the lucky jackpots. they keep you tantalized.
Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions. Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor. Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where. Never mind their questions there's no answer for.

I met you on a midway at a fair last year. and you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear. you were playing on the horses, you were playing on the guitar strings.

Front rooms. back rooms. slide into tables. crowd into bathrooms. joke around. cheap talk. deep talk. talk, talk, talk around the clock. crawl home. lie down.
There was a moon and a street lamp. i didn't know i drank such a lot. 'till i pissed a tequila-anaconda. the full length of the parking lot!. oh, i talk too loose.
See the stretching sun at dawning. Wipe the stardust from his eyes. Feel the morning breezes yawning. Telling me it's time to rise. Telling me it's time to rise.
