Somewhere Outside Las Vegas Lyrics - Singles - Flytape

The screen door closed swiftly, the houses sleep in fields of white 

in a picturebook scene, the cars parked perfect in the neighborhood secure 

strong words have strangled, the cuts have mangled, the shows have come and gone 

somewhere outside Las Vegas, twelve tribes hunker down to pass a sleepless night 

We are waiting for the savior to ride into town in a Cadillac made of glass 

poised and confused, hanging on the fuse of a million dark dreams 

The women hover through the shops, smelling like the sea, behind velvet and tortoise shell 

amidst the fat-free mochas, the cameras creep, the TVs burn their lights 

outside of town around the hills, and down the winding interstate, under microscopes burning bright 

the cooling streets stretch their arms, the people dance the tango of approaching night 

We are sitting at the fountain of tongues, in the parking lots hoping the tickets will go on sale 

and somewhere outside Las Vegas, it finally grows too much for a lone man to bear.
