These tables are haunted
By the ghost of las vegas
Their chips were once mountains
But they came here to play
They could take me if they wanted
But i have nothing worth counting
And like the sands of nevada
They go drifting away
Lady luck's still a mystery
With her head on my shoulder
And i don't know why
I still want her to dance
I guess that's all history
What it is is a i'm older
And i'm still a fool
For a one-way romance
Her dice were red rubies
They rolled and they tumbled
And i never saw time
Running out with my roll
And in the wasteland of cut gla**
My dreams were crumbled
And i've paid with whatever
I had left for a soul
Now the dawn's broken even
On a empty horizon
No reason for folding
No reason to stay
It's too soon to be leaving
Too late for criticising
And the sands of nevada
They go drifting away
