The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale
In the freshest oxygen I'd ever inhaled
I tapped a bottle against a safety rail
Killing time
And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
In dummy glasses and a cardigan
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
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors
Oh, come on
And you pretend every slot machine
Is a robot amputee waving "hello"
And the people stare into their eyes
And they feed them little bribes and then they go
In the never-ending twilight
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
You said that you were lonely
And then we kissed like lonely people do
You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
And 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
And oh so empty were the faces
Of the dealers and the waitresses all around
They're empty
In the freshest oxygen I'd ever inhaled
I tapped a bottle against a safety rail
Killing time
And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
In dummy glasses and a cardigan
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
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors
Oh, come on
And you pretend every slot machine
Is a robot amputee waving "hello"
And the people stare into their eyes
And they feed them little bribes and then they go
In the never-ending twilight
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
You said that you were lonely
And then we kissed like lonely people do
You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
And 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
And oh so empty were the faces
Of the dealers and the waitresses all around
They're empty
