Penny Arcade - Black Lace

Penny Arcade Lyrics

A light shone in the night some way ahead
Blue turned into green then it was red
And through the night then music played
The light I saw in the night was the penny arcade
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 those coloured lights cascade
And music played in the penny arcade
Yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
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 machine

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 those coloured lights cascade
And music played in the penny arcade
Yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
Instrumental
And the music played, in the penny arcade
Yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
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 those coloured lights cascade
And music played in the penny arcade
Yes it played and it played, played all the time
Roll up and spend your last dime
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 those coloured lights cascade
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
