The Fictionals - Roulette Lyrics

Walk in , then stamp the hand
Order something cheap that's overpriced
Mingle in out ,wiggle through the crowd
Wait till the lights dim maybe you'll be surprised


An acquaintance to waive hi to
Check mark the weekends pass through
Cacophony to bop the neck to
Pretending you have no clue
Though you should know better
Easier to fake after few a drinks


Have another and then one more again
Foolishly thinking the roulette will spin
And have this evening be the one to


Win this time
Oh my god
I need relief from the nine to to five
Brain keeps on ticking
Always nitpicking
Won't somebody come by and drown it out


Weekend friends to nod my head to
In throngs despair still bleeds through
Human corridors lined with sweat glue
Cool song to a good start
That just missed the mark
Saunter on by fake laugh after laugh


So have another and then one more again
Foolishly thinking the roulette will spin
And have this evening be the one to


Win this time
Oh my heart
Needs relief from the nine to to five
Dreams keep on slipping
Stumbling and tripping
Regret will fill your throbbing head the next day as you lay in bed
Oh for once
Casual love
Coil me tightly till the morning
I want to feel the heat of the heats
For a moment feel differently


In this
Crowd where
You think
You won't be lonely
You'll find
A cure
For the existential ennui


Engulfed in the haze
Always plays out the same way
Don't look around
For what's not to be found

Engulfed in the haze
Will always play the same
Don't look around
For what's not to be found
