Vegas Nights

Vegas nights and neon lights A desert playground of sin Enraptured then you're captured The moment you walk in The ambience intoxicates The chance of fortune looms Once you call you risk it all In crowded smoke-filled rooms Got a bucket full of coins You think it's now or never For a buck you try your luck And pull another lever Come on seven eleven Shooting craps you'll never win Anticipate as you wait Just to roll the dice again With all your money in their hands You leave quiet as a mouse Beyond a doubt you'll find out You can't ever beat the house

Thanks Jeanette, I've never been to Vegas myself, but I lose enough money playing the lottery. Like they say, a fool and his money is soon parted. I believe they were talking about me. Thanks for the feedback Baby Sister.
