Arcade at Night
The red veil moves aside and the lights are going down
In the end he takes a bow wearing his dirty crown
Rolling the white dice with every word or phrase
Doubtful if he's ever to be heir to all the praise
Get out of this arcade at night
Break away from this arcade at night
Sometimes he plays the part that he learned by heart
And takes this crazy sorrow and turns it into art
Every night he comes home and tries to slip this skin
The real deceit is not out there but it's hidden deep within
Get out of this arcade at night
Break away from this arcade at night
Cause Terry the stakes are raised
In this fight as the imposter's praised
Arcade at night
But tonight he seeks to see
What went wrong between him and me
So many times we could have broken free
We knew the odds and chose to let them be
We all try so hard to walk in the tracks left behind
By the gamblers and pretenders living in our mind
When we should all consider our own role on the stage
Learning when to play and when to turn the page
Get out of this arcade at night
Break away from this arcade at night
Cause Terry the stakes are raised
In this fight as the imposter's praised
Arcade at night
Can you hear me holler?
Can you hear me holler?
Can you hear me holler?
In the end he takes a bow wearing his dirty crown
Rolling the white dice with every word or phrase
Doubtful if he's ever to be heir to all the praise
Get out of this arcade at night
Break away from this arcade at night
Sometimes he plays the part that he learned by heart
And takes this crazy sorrow and turns it into art
Every night he comes home and tries to slip this skin
The real deceit is not out there but it's hidden deep within
Get out of this arcade at night
Break away from this arcade at night
Cause Terry the stakes are raised
In this fight as the imposter's praised
Arcade at night
But tonight he seeks to see
What went wrong between him and me
So many times we could have broken free
We knew the odds and chose to let them be
We all try so hard to walk in the tracks left behind
By the gamblers and pretenders living in our mind
When we should all consider our own role on the stage
Learning when to play and when to turn the page
Get out of this arcade at night
Break away from this arcade at night
Cause Terry the stakes are raised
In this fight as the imposter's praised
Arcade at night
Can you hear me holler?
Can you hear me holler?
Can you hear me holler?
