Last Night In Vagas

Last Night In Vegas

Last night Kenny had it all
Black jack and alcohol
Too high to stop the fall
The feeling was outrageous

A crowd began to gather ‘round
Fist pumping, fast and loud
Everybody hoping that
His luck would be contagious

She slid across the room
All glitter heels and cheap perfume
Stepping to a Madonna tune
Her eyes were magnetic

Ken looked up and saw her face
A body dressed in leather and lace
No sense of time or place
The air became electric

Last night, last night in Vegas

“Back Door” Kenny cashed out quick
Called C-Note Sam just for kicks
Felt like Sinatra with his chick
Stepping out on to Flamingo

Jumped into a chauffeured car
With crystal and a vodka bar
Fumbled with her buttons
In the back seat of the limo

Chorus: Last night, last night in Vegas

He woke up with a bloody nose
Dirty face and rumpled clothes
In an alley no one knows
Out by the Neon Bone Yard

Like a sailor he got rolled
They cleaned him out and left him cold
He got taken bought and sold
Strangers held the trump card

Chorus: Last night, last night in Vegas

This town will take you in
With promises of deliberate sin
But the only ones who win
Are kings and casinos

No regrets, he had some fun
A little beat up, hit and run
Nobody found out about last night
Yeah, but she knows

Hot lights and cold gin
Elvis and Marilyn
Showing off too much skin
Last Night In Vegas

Champagne and poker chips
Rough trade and glossy lips
Out walkin’ on the strip
Last Night In Vegas

Fools gold and slot machines
Madmen and muscle queens
Nothing is what it seems
On your Last Night In Vegas
Last Night in Vegas
Your last night…
Last night In Vegas
