Casino Blues

Ben Gibbard
 E
 Life will tower (??) a quarter scale, of precious oxygen we never inhale,
 AmE
 i cracked a bottle against the safety rail, give me time   

 E
 and you were like a walking compliment, tall in stature and exceptionally well read,
 AmE
 adobe glasses and a cartigan, oh come on   

 AmCE
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around 

 E
 you said that all these things you've learned to ignore, hidden cameras on the casino floor
 AmE
 and what gets payed for behind hotel doors, oh come on

 AmCE
and pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello     
 AmCE
people stare into their eyes and they feed them little prizes, in they go

 GE
 and entering the twilight, the basement where the sun had never spilt, you said that
were lonely, then we kissed like lonely people do

 E
 you said the city has a beating heart, that pushes people down the boulevard

and they're all hoping for a wishful fill, in the desert full of dollar bills
 AmE
 and foolishly you know they pay me still, oh come on  

 AmC
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
 AmC
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
