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 lucks still a mystery
With her head on my shoulder
And I dont know why
I still want her to dance
I guess thats all history
What it is is a Im older
And Im still a fool
For a 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 crumbled
And Ive paid with whatever
I had left for a soul
Now the dawns broken even
On a empty horizon
No reason for folding
No reason to stay
Its too soon to be leaving
Too late for criticising
And the sands of nevada
They go drifting away
