"Shadows Of Vegas" lyrics

"Shadows Of Vegas"

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 the city of sin
Everyday we try to play the hand we'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

Can we rise from the shadows again?
Can we rise from the shadows again?

'Cause we're standing
Yes we're dancing
Can we rise from the shadows again?
'Cause we're standing
Yes we're dancing
Can we rise from the shadows again?

'Cause we're standing
Yes we're dancing
Can we rise from the shadows again?
'Cause we're standing
Yes we're dancing
Can we rise from the shadows again?
