lyrics

V1
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?

CHORUS
But they couldn't take us
Children in Vegas
Keep your head on the road, don't look back now

V2
Everybody's speeding, fading away
I tore up the wild side and I wanna go home now
Dancing at the head of the highway, swinging
This could be my last night but I can't cry no more I need some sleep tonight

CHORUS
Nobody can save us
The Devil's in Vegas
Listen to him laughing "Ah, Ha, Ha"

V3
Midnight, channeling the moonlight
Cause honey we're just kids, look what this place did
Crazy, God you're fucking crazy but I got you out my life
Move to the side kid cause this world is mine tonight

CHORUS
It'll never make us
Now I'm leaving Vegas
I'm flying full force now

OUTRO
If I'm not among the stars it means one of many things
Either the drugs got me, or I lost myself in some drink
Or I'm nearly out my mind
And until I know, I'll catch the sunbeams

Every second walks the line between giving into the darkness and floating away into space, all mediated by Evan’s hauntingly resonating vocals. ... more
