Kino Casino
Kino Casino (B-Side)
Kino Casino
[Verse 1]
Jeremy rolled in heavy
With a pocket full of hope
Kino Casino glowing
Like a promise on a rope
He kissed luck goodbye
At the felt and the chrome
While the wheel kept spinning
And the dealer said, "Go home"
[Pre-Chorus]
One more hand, one more lie
One more grin from the pit
He chased the loss down deeper
Till the floor stopped lit
[Chorus]
Kino Casino, take it all
Kino Casino, watch me fall
Kino Casino, teeth and glass
Kino Casino, nothing lasts
(Hands up) no more chips
(Hands up) no more chips
[Verse 2]
By midnight he was empty
By one, he burned his last
His ring felt cold as iron
His pride was sinking fast
He drove to the station
With a shaking, split-up plea
Said the house was crooked
And they laughed at him for free
[Pre-Chorus]
Badge lights, bored eyes
Paper forms and a shrug
He begged them to look closer
They waved him off with a mug
[Chorus]
Kino Casino, take it all
Kino Casino, watch me fall
Kino Casino, teeth and glass
Kino Casino, nothing lasts
(Hands up) no more chips
(Hands up) no more chips
[Bridge]
Back at the carpet doors
Under that fake gold sign
The men in cheap dark jackets
Drew a hard red line
Jeremy found the answer
In a room with no escape
A hundred angry voices
And a table full of hate
[Verse 3]
He stumbled through the smoke now
With the debt burning bright
Every shout became a hammer
Every step gave up the fight
When the chips were gone for good
So was mercy in the air
He went down under pounding
And the house just stood and stared
[Chorus]
Kino Casino, take it all
Kino Casino, watch me fall
Kino Casino, teeth and glass
Kino Casino, nothing lasts
(Hands up) no more chips
(Hands up) no more chips
[Outro]
Kino Casino
The neon keeps its grin
Kino Casino
But Jeremy won't come in
