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The interior is old and outdated 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
