lyrics

how do you feel when you look at the deal you've been given
when the starlight hits your eyes as you leave your apartment
what feeling comes over you as you take in the view where you're living
and the parking lot's like a rorschach inkblot of heaven
i never felt you got what you paid for
trapped inside a broken glass elevator

you put all your faith in me
the bargain of the century
knowing that i wasn't your best bet
love is like the lottery
it's gotta go to somebody
and every day they just keep you guessing
the stakes are high to roll the dice
there was a time you felt alive
lately it's been mostly depressing
you put all your faith in me
now you've been making better investments

how do you feel as the dealer reveals what he's holding
are you helpless to the nagging impulse to try your numbers
and the music they play to try to get you to stay is infernal
the fluorescent glow and the cigarette smoke hold you under
it's only because they don't want you to leave
the time you spend is real, the rest is make believe
