The neon sky burns bright tonight
My throat is dry – my chest is tight
Must take the risk – can’t walk away
The ace is high – I’ve gotta play

An angel stares with burning eyes
She beckons me to my surprise
Then takes my hand “come on this way”
“Tonight my friend – you’ve gotta play”

She suggests something stronger
While she’s loading the dice
Then serves me Bourbon, with plenty of ice
Supplies what I’m craving – yet at a high price
Her art of enslaving feels wicked but nice

Still holding onto my last few chips
Do I risk it all and take the hit
My fate now rests on the turn of a card
Still looking cool but sweating hard

Should dreams come true – or fortune lost
Will trust my luck – and risk the cost
Place my last Dollar in the slot
This final spin may be my jackpot

Like a fly that’s drawn towards the light
My *** of gold is almost in sight
Can’t turn away – I’m enjoying the flight
It’s just another Vegas night.
