Las Vegas

Tall stories of buildings and lies
Surround the moments

Bells and whistles raging
White-hot emotions of losers gone awry

This is Las Vegas the fairytale land
Where greed and desire devour self
On carpets of lost dreams

Searching for bargain coupons
To discount the guilt
Making it tax-free on your soul

The sun is a camouflage for pain
The weather dry and tear free
Lays over a strip of broken dreams
With the scant hope or promise of tomorrow

Take away what you can get here
And never look back
Leave the ghosts of losers past
To find other prey
