| Drive all night through a sleepless desert
|
| Neon lights like a northern star
|
| I could ride these roads forever
|
| Babe, we’re never gonna get that far
|
| 'Cause the odds are stacked in their favor
|
| We’re just working for a rich man’s crumbs
|
| Get so far into the darkness
|
| Forget where you’re coming from
|
| And we’re standing in the shadows of Vegas
|
| Yes, we’re dancing at the edges of th city of sin
|
| Everyday we try to play the hand w’re given
|
| But the house always wins
|
| And the banks became casinos
|
| And they anted up our homes
|
| Golden parachutes filled up the sky
|
| That’s when I knew we were alone
|
| Cause the odds are stacked in their favor
|
| They don’t care about the men they cheat
|
| Everyday I pray to someone
|
| Won’t you shine your luck on me?
|
| And we’re standing in the shadows of Vegas
|
| Yes, we’re dancing at the edges of the city of sin
|
| Everyday we try to play the hand we’re given
|
| But the house always wins |
