It's an overload of senses in these halls of gambling
Light up these pachinko parlours where the balls are clattering
Flashing lights and melodies will fill the air it's real exciting
When I'm stepping through the door a blinding contrast and escape
Everyday routine is so depressing need a thrill again
Spend a couple yens and get my dopamine to win again
I am captivated like a siren song it's singing now
Real financial strain I have to stop but I just don't know how
Addicts view it as a pastime, rather innocent
Best to not repeat it everyday, keep you vigilant
Yeah, keep you vigilant
I answer the call but it's a dangerous game
Lives are gambled in a flash but who's the culprit to blame
I'm feeling hope and despair, I'm bout to lose my way
I've caught a bad addiction night will often turn into day
As the lights get brighter and the noise gets loud
I'm descending deeper into hell I'll never be proud
Families fractured and their savings lost
When the grip of the pachinko gets you, just know the cost
Symbol of escape and hidden vices hide a true desire
Is it part of larger problems or just entertainment though
Here the daily grind is like a drug or alcoholic drink
In this place a pulsing life of beats and tiny metal clinks
Hidden just behind these screens they show a certain solitude
We could go outside but this is home and showing gratitude
City is so big and isolating need to get away
You can exit anytime you want but you just want to stay
Addicts view it as a pastime, rather innocent
Best to not repeat it everyday, keep you vigilant
Yeah, keep you vigilant
Say you're losing your control now
That's the last of all your money now
Maybe you can sleep it off the ecstasy is coming down
Next attempt is calling you will come around
Say you're losing your control now
That's the last of all your money now
Maybe you can sleep it off the ecstasy is coming down
Next attempt is calling you will come around
