You step out from the midnight cold
Where stories of the street are told
The velvet curtains hide the glare
A heavy scent of smoke is there
The meter stops its steady beat
The city noise is now retreat
You find the door and slip inside
Where all the heavy secrets hide
The pixel cards glow electric blue
The neon table calls for you
A digital bet on a velvet floor
You keep on coming back for more
The dealer has a steady hand
A game that you can understand
The holographic suits are bright
They cut right through the velvet night
The meter stops its steady beat
The city noise is now retreat
You find the door and slip inside
Where all the heavy secrets hide
The pixel cards glow electric blue
The neon table calls for you
A digital bet on a velvet floor
You keep on coming back for more
You trade your silver for a chip
A sudden slide and then a slip
The pixels flicker in your sight
A ghost of gold in artificial light
The pixel cards glow electric blue
The neon table calls for you
A digital bet on a velvet floor
You keep on coming back for more
I've seen this play a thousand times
The rhythm of these urban rhymes
A lucky hand or just a lie
Under a fake and glowing sky
The pixel cards glow electric blue
The neon table calls for you
A digital bet on a velvet floor
You keep on coming back for more
The clock is ticking on the wall
The highest tower always falls
You fold your hand and leave the room
Back to the city's heavy loom
Just another fare in the rain
A little luck to hide the pain
Step inside the cab, close the door
