Smoke clouds
clog lungs
hanging in the air
put there
by those who don't care

Inhuman laughter
driving feet
swaying bodies together
having fear
we won't leave here

Drunken cocktails
spill lazily
along grounds of neon
one more
what else to live for

Cheated cards
scatter breezily
against bronze chests
lesser man
escape while you can

Closing hour
haunting silences
brought with the loss of life
just think
they will be back in a blink
