The Velvet Casino

Sailing to my island

Vacant, desolate, a perfect paradise

I lost the bet but rolled the dice

Now I’m on the run, I’m on the run

Took the money and escaped security

Fast car get away pushing one fifty

The get away was anything but swiftly

I was well groomed feeling a little swifty

I tried to walk away

the table said one more game

One more game

One more game

I gave it a shot but now I’m on the run

Stole back what I thought was mine

Shot at my head and now I know

I could never go back to that casino

Pit boss knows me by my name

I put everything in a losing game

Took my shot and took what I stole

I could never go back to that casino

Been here longer then I think

I did the drugs and sipped the drink

I thought that this was heaven

But oh fuck now I’m twenty seven

The interior is old and outdated

Through the door you think you made it

But this place makes you fake it

You’re Dried up, faded, jaded, and hated

I tried to walk away

the table said one more game

One more game

One more game

I gave it a shot but now I’m on the run

Stole back what I thought was mine

Shot at my head and now I know

I could never go back to that casino

Pit boss knows me by my name

I put everything in a losing game

Took my shot and took what I stole

I could never go back to that casino

I sail to my island

(My redemption lost all hope)

Vacant, desolate, a perfect paradise

(If I go back I’d be on the ropes)

I lost the bet but rolled the dice

Now I’m on the run, I’m on the run
