Slot Machine Pocket

It buzzed And I checked And it was nothing And I checked again

It buzzed again And it was something A heart, a ping, a stranger Saying I'm a vibe

A little hit A little zip A little spark across my eyes

BING!

I checked again Nothing I checked again Nothing I checked again HEART!

That's the trick That's the trick Sometimes nothing Sometimes treasure Never know which That's the hook

BZZZT!

Slot machine pocket Slot machine pocket My hand keeps reaching For a thing that pays off sometimes

Slot machine pocket Slot machine pocket Variable rewards Variable rewards The casino paid the engineers To make it feel like this

PING!

The feed is a wheel The wheel is a slot Every scroll is a pull Every pull is a maybe

The maybe is the point The maybe is the bait Your brain loves a maybe More than a yes

That's why a sure thing is boring And a maybe keeps you up That's why one more video Becomes one more becomes one more

BING! BZZZT! PING!

I'm not stupid I know what it's doing I just put it down And then I picked it up

Slot machine POCKET! Slot machine POCKET! Sometimes nothing Sometimes a heart Always pulling Always pulling

Slot machine POCKET! Slot machine POCKET! The handle is a swipe And the prize is a feeling

(Quiet)

Put it down Put it down Put it down Put it down

The feeling lasts a second The hour just left

BING.

Yeah, I see you.
