about

Addiction is a monster.

lyrics

The game goes on forever
and a few hours after that
And if the dollars let you down
the dimes can bring you back
See, every town is Vegas
once the traffic lights start blinking
but every face on every queen
Well, I know what they're thinking

Adelena, Adelena
Even now I feel your head against my shoulder
Even now I hear you breathing by my side
I don't sleep
I barel try

The game goes on forever
some nights you get the cards
That night I fell under your spell
I hit the floor so hard
They say the key to magic
is where you lead their eyes
mine were looking down at yours
To the heavens, to the skies

Adelena, Adelena
Did you know it's where you left it on the table
Did you know I never read the whole way through?
either way
I guess I knew

Yeah, the money splashes in
and the money trickles out
So many things I let fall through my hands
But each night I came home to you
with my pockets inside out
I was still the luckiest man

Adelena, Adelena
When you get this, could you do me just one favor?
Find a silver coin and let it spin
Heads I lose
tails you win
Adelena
Adelena
My Adelena
