These Tables Are Haunted
|
By The Ghosts 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 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 A Wasteland Of Cut Glass
|
My Dreams Have All Crumbled
|
And I've Paid With Whatever
|
I Had Left For A Soul
|
|
Now The Dawn's Broken Even
|
On An 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
|
