lyrics
Hey buddy, couldn't help but see you don't look well
Had a rough day, huh? Boy, I sure can tell
Now, I'm no doctor, but I think that I can cure that frown
And if I were a doctor I'd prescribe a night on the town
I know a little place; not far from here
And I can guarantee the best time ya had all year
All the ladies and the gents and folks outside & between
Agree this spot is at the top of the social scene
I didn’t introduce myself, just call me Ace
Nice to meet ya, I’m the manager that runs this place
The Grand Avalon Casino raises the bar
With all the glitz befitting of a Hollywood star
Choose a game to play — try any one!
The excitement’s at a fever pitch, come join the fun
You say you’re down on your luck— now don’t you fear!
Cause the losers on the street can win a fortune in here
Say 1, 2, hey! It'll be okay
Just come on in and follow along
First game’s on me, won’t cost a thing
Roulette or blackjack—dice or slots
I say-ah 1, 2, hey! Step up and play!
Our doors are open dusk to dawn
Every pauper has a chance to become a king
You can find yours here at the Avalon!
The roulette starts spinning with a click & clack
Find the gold that glints between the red & black
Give a handshake to a bandit and let ‘im roll
Watch the nickels start pourin’ like a waterfall
You got it now! I knew you'd love this joint
Jackpots abound — we never disappoint
With music, booze and games, anyone can unwind
At the Grand Avalon, you’ll have a hell of a time!
A quarter past three, you start to look for the door
My buddy, can’t ya tell it ain't there no more?
There's a question in your eyes, so let me give you a clue:
See, there’s still the little matter of the debt I’m due
Remember how I said this wouldn’t cost a dime?
Well, that’s cause you’re the payment— you’re already mine!
Take a break, have a drink, cash your chips, my friend—
It's the party of a lifetime, and you’ll play ’til the end!
Say 1, 2, hey! It'll be okay
Just come on in and follow along
First game’s on me, won’t cost a thing
Roulette or blackjack—dice or slots
I say-ah 1, 2, hey! Step up and play!
Our doors are open dusk to dawn
We’ll keep on going ’til the judgement day
So come join us here at the Avalon!

Circus is a music machine who's put out tons of amazing tracks since 715, but this is still my favourite of his albums by far. I still don't know how he got Len's English to sound so emotional and powerful on Poltergeist, but on that and every track Circus showcases why he is the king of English vocalsynth tuning wondersmith_39
