Song | Las Vegas |
Artist | The String Cheese Incident |
Album | Hampton Coliseum - Hampton |
In my dream I took an ancient throne | |
In a garden back in ancient Rome | |
Hand in hand with a maiden fair | |
We glided through psilocybin air | |
The fountains flowed and the moon it glowed | |
Lighting statues made of marble | |
10 feet tall in the perfect likeness | |
of Bogart and Greta Garbo | |
I thought that I might touch the toe | |
Of a goddess carved by Michelangelo | |
It was nothin' but a piece of styrofoam | |
And I wrote it down in my journal | |
'Cuz it reminded me that I was in Las Vegas | |
While traveling in gay París | |
There was something I just had to see | |
An architectural feat to which | |
A rival simply does not exist | |
The frame, interlaced, rising up into space | |
The Eiffel Tower, it called me | |
Exuding with charm with my girl on my arm | |
But the words I heard appalled me: | |
It was twelve bucks a pop to get to the top! | |
And that reminded me that I was in Las Vegas | |
We arrived at the Luxor, Mandalay Bay | |
Trying to find a table that pays | |
The roller coaster at New York, New York | |
In the buffet line I saw Bjork | |
Bjork, Bjork, is that you? | |
I can't believe it, this is so cool! | |
Remember me from Cincinnati? | |
I was in the front row, smokin' a fatty! |
In my dream I took an ancient throne | |
In a garden back in ancient Rome | |
Hand in hand with a maiden fair | |
We glided through psilocybin air | |
The fountains flowed and the moon it glowed | |
Lighting statues made of marble | |
10 feet tall in the perfect likeness | |
of Bogart and Greta Garbo | |
I thought that I might touch the toe | |
Of a goddess carved by Michelangelo | |
It was nothin' but a piece of styrofoam | |
And I wrote it down in my journal | |
' Cuz it reminded me that I was in Las Vegas | |
