Vegas

(album: The Drama Of Exile - 1982)

The road that leads you to Vegas
Remains so free
Where men have lost a perfect set
Within so much regret
The turning wheel on every table
Have they told you yet
A formula, a winning scheme
More than you can dream

In a case of crime
In a case of death
Would you have to hold
Have to hold your breath?
The charges of your sentence
An answer to your key
A switching argument

Closing in on you

The young man with a wild smile
Like Bonaparte
He's looking like a piece of
Like a piece of art

In a case of crime
In a case of death
Would you have to hold
Have to hold your breath?
The charges of your sentence
An answer to your key
A switching argument
Condemning
Your damned
To plea
