Leaving Las Vegas: the Adventure Begins

Have lit the night skies 
Of my life for so long
The blazing hot atmosphere
Has melted me into
The ever living woodwork
Of this restless desert city

The time has arrived
I can't stand to be here
Any longer

The sounds of buzzing slots
And hissing drunks
Will be left behind 
Here in this undead circus 

Taking my time, 
To observe what ill miss
The excitement reigns in me
Raise the anchor
It's time to set sight 
On a new destination

A shot or two
The last dollar ill gamble,
And I'm thinking of you

One last walk
Down the street of Fremont
8 am
Much earlier,
Than I've ever been down here

I watched the sun rise 
Above the steel canopy
All of the Vampires
Crawled back into their cracks
In the walls
I'm alone 
Walking tall 
A cold beer 
And some time for thinking

I knew I'd find myself
Again 
Somehow

Keys in the ignition
Exhaust bellows down
The Vegas streets

Its time to head north
To the rain
And green earth
Far away
From this goddamn Desert
