Just Another Vegas Night

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 pot of gold is almost in sight

Can’t turn away – I’m enjoying the flight

It’s just another Vegas night.
