Las Vegas Salvation Lyrics

I won a million dollars in a lucid dream

Picked up a pocket full of tickets that I won't redeem

With any luck security won't hear my scream coming through the door

Taking love for granted is an ancient vice

Like looking to the heavens with a sacrifice

Or paying for a concubine to blow the dice

Hypnotized by the colors of the slot machine

If I die of dehydration Baby on the banks of an arid stream

Let the birds of prey come pick my pockets clean

I can wash away my sins now Baby with a gallon of gasoline

Let the tongues of a beating sun lick down on me

Ain't no way to prove what you don't believe

The truth of what you give and what you don't receive

Predetermined by a spade up a dealer's sleeve

But all I ever had to do was peel the Queen

If I die of dehydration Baby on the banks of an arid stream

Let the birds of prey come pick my pockets clean

I can wash away my sins now Baby with a gallon of gasoline

Let the tongues of a beating sun lick down on me
