At the pier's end arcade
There's a carousel that sings The Circle Game
Just off the marine parade

He liked the lights
His dad came every fortnight
Except when he forgot
Since he was higher not
Than a drinker's waist

Together they'd walk the gangplank
Together they'd escape

To the pier's end arcade
Hear the clanking of mechanic prophets and penny games
Just off the marine parade

Small boys get old
And luck runs out on the greyhounds
The horses bleed him dry
But for less than a pound
Fortuna's cruel voice
For a time will drown in the noise
Painted smiles never fade

All alone he walks the gangplank
All alone he escapes

To the pier's end arcade
Where a carousel sings The Circle Game
Just off the marine parade

He liked the high
Lived on the phrase 'this is my night'
But slots, cards and scratchers
Aren't made for life's winners
A bitter glitter
Hides in the nails on his fingers
Blesses his children's hair

As a ghost he'll walk the gangplank
A ghost he can't escape

The piers end arcade
Hear the clanking of mechanic prophets and penny games
Just off the marine parade
