These tables are haunted By the ghost of Las Vegas Their chips were once mointains But they came here to play They could take me if they wanted But I have nothing worth counting And like the sands of Nevada They go drifting away
Lady luck's still a mystery With her head on my shoulder And I dont know why I still want her to dance I gusess that's all history What it is is I'm older And I'm still a fool For a one-way romance
Her dice were red rubies They rolled and they tumbeled And I never saw time Running out with my roll And in the wasteland of cut glass My dreams were crumbeled And I payed with whathever I had left for a soul
Now the dawn's has broken even On an empty horizon No reason for folding No rason to stay It's too soon to be leaving Too late for critizising And the sands of Nevada They go drifting away
