Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn so get those stakes up higher There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there They're all living the devil may care and I'm just a devil with no despair So leave a home for the beggar, leave a home for the beggar How I wish that there were more than 24 hours in the day But even if there were 40 more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel A fortune, money, lost on every deal All you need is a scar and a nerve still Leave a home for the beggar, leave a home for the beggar Leave a home for the beggar Leave a Las Vegas, turn the neon flashing War band is crashing, all those homes down the drain Leave a Las Vegas, turn the day into night time Turn the night into day time if you see it once And it will never be the same again I'm gonna keep on the run I'm gonna have me a symphony It cost me one very last dime If I wind up broke I'll always remember That I had a swingin' time I'm gonna give it everything I've got Lady luck please, let the dice stay hot Let me shoot a seven with every shot Leave a home for the beggar Leave a home for the beggar Leave a home for the beggar Leave a, leave a, Las Vegas
