Las Vegas

Headlights stream along the strip 
Late night dreamers on a trip
Neon lights shining bright
Everyone's feeling lucky tonight 

Crowds bustle on the sidewalk
Wild laughter & small talk
Silhouettes smoking cigarettes
Pink Cadillacs & red Corvettes

High rollers & classy chicks
Cowboys getting their kicks
Sharks in suits
Snakeskin boots

The Devil’s drawing them in
Tempting them with sin
He’s playing them all
Watching them fall

He begins his dance
Playing with chance
Gambling with their soul
He lets the dice roll

All bets are on seven
A trip to heaven
Only the dice will tell
Who’s going to hell

Hundred dollar bills
Whiskey & wild thrills
Burning with desire
The city’s on fire
