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
