We came down on the city from the sky through the air. We pooled our money and we got a room just north of the strip. And when the sun went down and the city came alive. We came alive and we were free. And love was burning a hole into my heart. Love was burning a hole in my heart. 

The light from the slots spilled out onto the street. The way the lights from the slots kissed your cheek. The people were ours and the towers were ours and the city was ours. Their cares were our cares and there worries our worries. And we were there and they were there and everyone was there. And love was burning a hole into my heart. Love was burning a hole in my heart.

The very next day the sky came down. The lights went off all over town. The radio never made a sound.

There’s nothing like living in that city, the levers and lights the levers and lights the levers and lights. Every corner of every room of every hall of every dream makes it seem like the lights only shine when we’re there. That living is something you breathe in the air. That life is a gamble, that love is a gamble And you’ve got the dice in your hand and you’re blowing on it like a feather. You’re trying to keep it in the air. And you let the dice roll, and it rolls. And it rolls. And the flop comes, and the lever drops, and your neighbor calls. And you know what you’ve suspected. That he’s sitting on two aces And that tomorrow life is going to come to collect. Like love is burning a hole into your heart. Because love is burning a hole into your heart.

Levers And Lights

Don't Remember
