Story Behind The Song

Just wanted to write a great pop/rock song about getting lost in Vegas

Lyrics

Bodies buried in the desert sand
As you up the stakes, play one more hand

Got a ticket to fly, so I left in behind
Thought my luck would change
In Vegas, ooh Las vegas
Went from black and white, to the neon lights
Mesmerized all night
In Vegas, thought that I could make it

Front row seats, for the Cirque De soliel
Picture perfect, an amazing acrobatic display

I'm getting lost, lost in Las Vegas
I'm getting lost, lost in Vegas

The dealers shuffler and the people hustle
Went from riches to nothing and back again
In Vegas, my heart can't take it
The slots were ringing and I got to thinking
Are you really winning when you play the game of
Vegas, no you just can't make it

Losers weep walking aimless in the streets
With that emptiness inside, just the luck of the dice

I'm getting lost, lost in Las Vegas
I'm getting lost, lost in Vegas

Strippers drinking, half dressed thinking,
How did I get this far?
Men watch open-minded, dressed up in Armani
Smoking Cuban cigars
Showgirls dancing, sequins flashing
High heels up in the air
Men stare, unaware
Do you think there wives would care?

Sigfried and Roy, how I loved those boys
See it now, than its gone, magic
Stand up comics try to get me laughing
Agents on their cellphones, getting stuck in traffic

I'm getting lost, lost in Las vegas
I'm getting lost, lost in Vegas
I'm getting lost, lost in Las Vegas
I'm getting lost, lost in Vegas

The bag ladies play the nickel slots
Empty their pockets, all they got
Elvis lives amongst their dreams
As he marries you, he'll even sing in Vegas
