Penny Arcade

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A light shone in the night someway ahead Blue turned into green, then it was red And, stirring the night, love music played The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade [Chorus] "Step up and play," each machine seemed to say As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade "Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle And you'll make all the colored lights cascade." [Post-Chorus] And music played in the penny arcade Yes, it played and it played, played all the time "Roll up and spend your last dime!" [Verse 2] At first, I thought it a dream that I was in Lost, lost in a sea of glass and tin But no, so dipping my hand in the back of my jeans I grabbed a handful of coins to feed the machines [Chorus] "Step up and play," each machine seemed to say As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade "Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle And you'll make all the colored lights cascade." [Post-Chorus] And music played in the penny arcade Yes, it played and it played, played all the time "Roll up and spend your last dime!" [Chorus] Oh, "Step up and play," each machine seemed to say As I walked 'round and 'round the penny arcade "Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle And you'll make all the colored lights cascade." [Post-Chorus] And music played in the penny arcade Yes, it played and it played, played all the time "Roll up and spend your last Roll up and spend your last Roll up and spend your last dime!"
