The Eiffel tower built to smaller scale The freshest oxygen Id ever inhale I tapped a bottle against a safety rail, killing time And you were like a walking compliment Tall in stature and exceptionally read In dummy glasses and a cardigan, oh, come on And ohsoempty were the faces Of the dealers and the waitresses around You said that all these things youve learned to ignore The hidden cameras on the casino floor And what gets paid for behind hotel doors, oh, come on You pretend every slot machine Is a robot amputee waving hello The people stare into their eyes And they feed them little bribes and then they go The neverending twilight In a basement where the sun has never spilt You said that you were lonely And then we kissed like lonely people do You said the city has a beating heart That pushes people down the boulevard And theyre all hoping for a wish fulfilled In a desert for a dollar bill Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still, oh, come on And ohsoempty were the faces Of the dealers and the waitresses around And ohsoempty were the faces Of the dealers and the waitresses around Theyre empty
