The slot machine dings,
As the levers go down.
Don’t look away from the lights.
Don’t look at the men in suits in the eye.

Chips go to the center,
Cards close to the chest.
Don’t take notice when they pass by.
Don’t look at the men in suits in the eye.

Bets are all taken in,
The reds and blacks spin.
The roulettes aim to hypnotize.
Don’t look at the men in suits in the eye.

There are no clocks,
There’s no passage of time.
It’s only felt like hours
When it’s already been a month.

They pull you aside,
These men in black suits call you
You’ve owed them too much,
That it cost you an eye.
