about

Inspired by a recent trip to Atlantic City.

lyrics

Posters tattered by wind
Reveal faded shells fantastic marquees
Nails poke up from the boardwalk
Tripping the stumblers, catching their slide

The air, heavy with expectation
Smoke saturates, surprising, not really
The air, heavy with expectation
Smoke saturates, surprising, not really

Light fills in where it should not
Some things are better left unexposed
Promise welcomes acceptance
Danger ignored for rewards unknown

The air, heavy with expectation
Smoke saturates, surprising, not really
The air, heavy with expectation
Smoke saturates, surprising, not really

Stick to the numbers, repeat repeater
Thirty-five to one, odd and black every time
Don’t watch it drop, look away look away
Suprise or rejection it’s all the same

When it lands, god damn
On top of the world
Red carpet, concierge complement
More like maroon, no presidential suite

The chips, soiled and stained
Stick together in unfortunate ways
Does it really matter? It’s still current to us
Force the situation, double or nothing

No problems no interdiction
That’s fine that’s fine
Inked to honor, pride of the playground
The slides are rusted the swings are broken
That’s ok we are all just visiting
