Standing alone in the shade
Watching the latest attraction
Spotted a quaint arcade
Seemingly out of the action

Flickering lights left to right
Looking grotesque there's no doubt
Pushing a coin inside
Reading the card that came out

If you're alone and in need of a friend
Don't be afraid and just pull the lever
Time to be brave, live your dreams to the end
Go for a ride and believe in forever

That was a few months ago
Moments I clearly remember
Counting the days till I go
Doctors say maybe September

Standing alone in the shade
Trying to make a connection
Wondering why I'm detained
And wearing restraints for protection
