The lights go on
The lights go off
The smokers cough
By parking spots
Tall silver tables
With pool cues in the corner
Bistro meals and
Sports, televised.
I used to think that I could anywhere
But now I can go here
It never bought me anything
But these chips and beer.
The traffic starts
The traffic stops
Change machines
And hidden clocks
Swirls in the carpet
Handbag straps on
Stranger's shoulders
Don't leave your kids
in cars, anymore.
You used to think that I could go anywhere
But now I can go here
It never bought me anything
But these chips and beer
I never really met them anyway
My KPIs
It's not the door of opportunity
Locks from the outside.
The spinning starts
The spinning stops
The pictures fall
In the wrong spots
Luck is a bird that flies to
Sit upon your shoulder
When you need it least
But never mind.
I never really asked you anyway
Let's make that clear
You used to think I could go anywhere
But now I go here
At least the food is complimentary
Not like you
When I'm sitting at the slot machines
They don't judge me when I lose
I never really met them anyway
My KPIs
The door of opportunity
Locks from the inside.
But the lights are on
At the Pokies Pub.
