Las Vegas
Towers rising in the desert
Stretched between these mountain ranges
Dangerously paved by highways
Populated by the strangest
People and play things
And dreamless sleeping flower petaled people
Reaching strange directions
But almost keeping with the children
That they’d been teaching
Now that’s the joy of man’s desiring
I am alive
I am alive
I thought that I was gonna die
Now there ain’t nothing left
Midnight won and she took the rest
I rode the night train
I sniffed the wood grain
I turned my paycheck into the chieftain
Now it’s a dumb thing to be doing
But it was lasting all night
And we felt just like the gods did
When we saw the sun come out
And that’s the joy of man’s desiring
I am alive
I am alive
I thought that I would die
Before I got to Vegas
These ancient rocks are filled with dreams
These buildings are just space craft
Do the skies sometimes rain down in pennies
Is your universe a treasure
