lyrics

[Verse 1] “You're gonna be popular tonight” he says I’m gonna be Vegas’ child he said “Only for one night, kid it won’t be long” “You're gonna get everybody so wild” he says Now it’s time to walk the line again “Oh you got that special kind of thing. Have I seen your face on the silver screen?” [Chorus] Why do I go? Indelible soul I won’t make it outta here [Verse 2] Four red halls with four red lights Let each one kill my tired eyes I followed all my stars for you I just chased all my stars for you I thought I had a boy waitin’ back at home for me But he was lost I was so naive The whole horizons in my eyes Ridin’ round this town, heavy headed high [Chorus] [Bridge] You gimme tunnel vision, tunnel vision, tunnel vision all in my head You gimme tunnel vision, tunnel vision, tunnel vision all in my mind Sometimes I’d get it just right Lie my head back, turn off the light If I concentrate it in my head Watchin’ myself from the ceiling [Chorus Variation] Why did I go? Indelible soul I won’t make it outta here But I did make it outta here Why’d I make it outta here? I don’t know [x4}

It Gets Dark [Verse 1] It gets dark It gets goddamn dark It gets dark in here a lot And when it starts And I come apart I lock the doors, I say a prayer And as I sit in the dark I let it wrap its arms around Till I’m completely covered up [Chorus] And It kills me, and I smile It’s everything that keeps me feelin’ small [Verse 2] It gets dark Your little car Takes me to some number heaven Anatomy angel Dead rock star Laughs with me in the ER I never thought You’d get that dark You wanted me broken down, now look at what you done [Chorus Variation] And it kills me, and now life Can never be as magic as before [Bridge] You're in it’s arms You belong to him [x4] [Closer] My darkest hours They ain't up I’ve hurt till 3am and I gotta wait till dawn

The Boardwalk (Interlude) 04:10
lyrics
buy track
That subway train keeps movin’ back and forth Can you hear the rumble as it goes by? It reminds me of the D train That could take me to the boardwalk anyday I could've taken you there If only you would let me I could've taken you anywhere God help me Blue Hawaiians and pastel pink bikinis And all the old men throw dice for keeps It’s like walkin’ at night And you’re feelin uneasy Let yourself run wild Lets go to the boardwalk I can take you on the shore Or we could smoke up on the beach Either way I’m happy But if I took you there You’d see it, but not through my eyes Not through my eyes They say troublemakers and vagabonds Always run into one another in the end So I guess I’ll see you soon I'll see you soon

Inside My Dreams 05:28
lyrics
buy track
[Verse 1] If you want me you know where I’ll be Flying down the highway and the backstreets You can never sneak your way inside my dreams So if you wanna come and find me I’ll be dancin’ in the desert in the southwest heat I’ll be thousands of miles away from you I’m sorry if you cannot take it But when I’m up dancing I’m Vegas’ favorite And I’m happy I got away from you [Chorus] Drivin’ down the strip The lights are all I’ve ever wished Green neon in the sky And it’s all that life can give Inside my dreams [Verse 2] If you wanna come and ride with me I’ll have to say “No, I’m sorry my king” God knows you ain’t no Dallesandro Now you sit there with your switchblade Wondering what to do next He really liked his hands around my neck When someone wants the best of me They get left with nothing And I still got my head, or at least what’s left [Chorus Variation] Everything feels right Like St. Mark's in summertime Everything was worth it And I don’t feel the blues no more Inside my dreams [Bridge] You walked in circles around me While I’m on the ground You walked in circles around me While I’m fadin’ out You walked in circles around me Not one dream around [Outro] Do your thing Get clean See the things you wanna see Do your thing Get Clean Be the one you always dreamed Do your thing Only you can save yourself Do your thing

American Blood 05:26
lyrics
buy track
[Verse 1] American flags fading’ in the sun 'Cause God knows years of wrong Can’t be undone American blood is reaching It’s boiling point of no return Which reality tv star will save me now? [Familiar Break] But they couldn’t take us Children in Vegas Keep your head on the road, don’t look back now [Verse 2] Everybody's speedin’, fadin’ away I tore up the wild side And I wanna go home now Dancin’ at the head of the highway Swingin, this could be my last night But I can't cry no more I need some sleep tonight [Familiar Break] Nobody can save us The Devils’ in Vegas Listen to him laughin’ “Ha, ha ha” [Verse 3] Midnight, channeling the moonlight ‘Cause honey we’re just kids Look what this place did Crazy, god you’re fuckin’ crazy But I got you out my life Move to the side kid ‘cause this world is mine tonight [Familiar Break] It’ll never make us And I’m leavin Vegas I’m flyin full force Ahhh [Closer] If I’m not among the stars That means one of few things Either the drugs got me, lost myself in some drink Or I’m nearly out my mind And until I know… I’ll catch the sunbeams [x3] You’ll catch em with me I’ll catch the sunbeams [x3] I’ll catch ‘em with you

about

Situated somewhere between the southwest’s fiery yet notorious desert and the cool shores of Coney Island is where you’ll find the soundscape of “Vegas’ Child,” the first EP from Evan DeGirolamo and Emily Charash. The record spins a full-circle tale of the endless delights, and eventual violence, that come with seeking consolation and safety in another.

For being Evan DeGirolamo and Emily Charash's musical debut, their sound delivers a concisely crafted tone without reservation. The hints of jazzy piano when combined with heavy R&B synths create a uniquely dreamy, yet equally enigmatic feel to his tone, leaving you wanting more of this perplexing contradiction. Every second walks the line between giving into the darkness and floating away into space, and it’s all mediated by Evan’s hauntingly resonating vocals.
