lyrics

None of this easy, 151 liquor
We have to look at the smaller picture
We have to think less and act much quicker
I have trouble to walk, she’s my Achilles heel
Blindfolded and behind the wheel
We rely only on ability to feel

Love’s a slot machine
She’s a pretty penny
I don’t have the odds
But I still envision winning
And I'll keep spinning
And I'll keep spending
I’m a socialist
What’s the difference to me
Pep talk slow clap
Been there been back
Real life no laugh track

If all this has just been an act then I’d give her the part
If she’s just trying to be hip I’d give her coffee and art
When I asked her for her phone I knew I had to be smart
I don’t care how this ends I just care how it starts

Love’s a slot machine
She’s a pretty penny
I don’t have the odds
But I still envision winning
And I'll keep spinning
And I'll keep spending
I’m a socialist
What’s the difference to me
Pep talk slow clap
Been there been back
Real life no laugh track

I still have my delusions
And my delusions have contusions
Everything I learn about her
It only adds to the confusion

If she was a loan I’d call yen
Such money in the bank it’s un-American
If she were a founder she’d be Alex Hamilton
More than just a 10
More than just a 10
More than just a 10
More games than ESPN

Love’s a slot machine
She’s a pretty penny
I don’t have the odds
But I still envision winning
And I'll keep spinning
And I'll keep spending
I’m a socialist
What’s the difference to me
Pep talk slow clap
Been there been back
Real life no laugh track
