Lyrics
Casino
Written By: Dauphinais / Thomas
My life is a casino
And I’m supposed to go
Where the sense of life is
Struck down
My life is a casino
Illusions we grow
Support my empty sight
And it’s not right
Come out
Anywhere else
To win for what
Come out
Anywhere else
Do you still enjoy?
My life is a casino
And I’m supposed to know
Where the sense of life is
Struck down
My life is a casino
Stop to need it so
I thought you had chosen to go through
Don’t you?
Come out
Anywhere else
To win for what
Come out
Anywhere else
Do you still enjoy?
Cannot break away
No more we could say
We’re out of time
Cannot break away
No more we could say
Underground
Written By: J. Dauphinais / D. Thomas
Hello tell me why you’re still waiting
It seems like you’ve been lost enough
Come on no matter what we used to say
It seems like you’ve been pushed enough
And now give those words a secret place
It seems like you’ll have to keep faith
Underground will never let you down
You don’t need no excuses from the past
It seems like things are moving fast
So look through the windows attentively
Does it seem to set you free?
Underground will never let you down
For everything you should have done
Or anyone you might become
For all the times you felt unknown
Not to the world but to yourself
And now I’m here it has always been
And now you’re here it has always been
Now you have to return from where’s the underground
Underground will never let you down
Hello tell me why you’re still waiting
It seems like you’ve been lost enough
Come on no matter what we used to say
It seems like you can stop it all
