These tables are haunted by the ghost of Las Vegas Their chips were once mountains 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 don't know why I still want her to dance
I guess that's all history what it is is I'm older And I'm still a fool for your one-way romance
Her dice were red rubies, they rolled and they tumbled ♪ And I never saw time running out with my roll And in the wasteland of cut glass my dreams were all crumbled And I've paid with whatever I had left for a soul ♪ Now the dawn's broken even on a empty horizon No reason for folding, no reason to stay ♪ It's too soon to be leaving, too late for criticizing And the sands of Nevada go drifting away
