Live In Las Vegas

 

We were the cream of the crop
We were the pick of the pack
We were as big as they come
We said we'd never look back
We were financially fine
And we were critically cool
And we were larger than life
And we could break any rule
And that's the say that it was
The way that it was

We said it's all like a dream
Another glass of champagne
I said well you haven't changed
You're just a little more vain
And we could laugh till we cried
About how easy it was
And we could do anything
And be accepted
Because that's just the way that it is
The way that it is

I was on the cutting edge
And you were so sharp
We we’re like two angels
With a custom built harp
Now we're in Nevada
And we're nothing at all
Now we're in Nevada
And it's after the fall
And we're
Live in Las Vegas Saturday night
Live in Las Vegas every night
Put your hands together
Welcome them
Live in Las Vegas

I got so used to the lights and
Now I'm here in the dark
I got so used to the caviar
And now there are sharks
We do whatever they want
But they don't know what they want
They just keep ordering drinks
And yelling hey you get off
And that's we way that it is


 

I was on the cutting edge
And you were so sharp
We we’re like two angels
With a custom built harp
Now we're in Nevada
And we're nothing at all
Now we're in Nevada
And it's after the fall
And we're
Live in Las Vegas Saturday night
Live in Las Vegas every night
Put your hands together
Welcome them
Live in Las Vegas

We were the cream of the crop
We were the pick of the pack
We were as big as they come
We said we'd never look back
But now we are looking back
A couple lifetimes ago
Around the poker and blackjack
And now on with the show
And that's the way that it is

The way that it is
