about

“Las Vegas looks the way you’d imagine heaven must look at night.”

- Chuck Palahniuk

lyrics

Like Vegas in the morning
She looked better in the dark
Her eyes were red and swollen
Her stare was cold and stark

The reflection in the mirror
Couldn't hide the tell-tale signs
Clairol just disguises grey
Make-up only blurs the lines

Born and raised in Kansas
Little girl with great big dreams
She followed where they lead her
FromLA to New Orleans

That's where she learned the trade
That took her where she is today
Emerald cities in the desert
Hope's a million miles away

And she says:
Buy me one more drink
Tell me one more lie
When your wife asks where you been
Come up with one more alibis

Too tired to kick the bucket
Too broke to buy the farm
I just need someone to hold me
And keep my aching body warm tonight

The money on the nightstand
That's what I awoke to see
Stuck to a Post-it note
That made just one request of me

When you come across another
Working woman of my faith
Treat her kind and say she's pretty
You'll make the world a better place

Chorus

Like Vegas in the morning
She looked better in the dark...
