Roy Orbison Penny Arcade tekst

A light shone in the night somewhere ahead
Blue turned into green, then it was red.
And, stirring the night, loud music played
The light I saw in the night was a 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 the 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 machines.

“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 the coloured lights cascade�?.

“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 the coloured lights cascade�?.

“Roll up and spend your last dime!�?
Roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last,
roll up and spend your last dime!�?
