Vegas, Baby Lyrics

When I was a kid there was this lady always

Walking down the street with a

Cigarette in her mouth and

I haven't seen her since

Now she's probably dead

I'm threading my cheek through the sides of my teeth again

And now my dentist is concerned about me and he

Thinks these nervous ticks will fade but

I don't think they'll change

Cuz it's all at once or never like that

One guy in Casino

Take a little off the top and

You're all right

Whoever said that life is short you're wrong

Look at all these bad things, they're the only things we can do well

Are these the only things that we could ever do well

Someone sometime in history has been forgotten

No rest for the wicked

Only monuments and movies and textbooks

Bludgeon me with a baseball bat

It's the only thing I know

Bury me naked in the sand when I'm breathing

I'm buried but I'm still breathing

Las Vegas, like the world, can't protect me anymore

And it's something that I'll never learn to fight
