From Idyllwild to Las Vegas
Walking the desert wearing this paper hat
Stop for a minute in wonderland alley
I'll be alice, you be the Cheshire Cat
They're singing: let it ride, all night
I'm going down, so far down
They're singing: let it ride, all night
I'm going down, and I'll stay down
How you going to throw my love away
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Girl, don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold
Theater of the grotesque
I can't stop playing and I'm still losing after all the time
Fly me direct to bermuda or connect in Miami
Take me somewhere to fix my worried mind
They're singing: let it rain, bring the pain
I'm going down, so far down
They're singing: let it rain, bring the pain
I'm going down, and I'll stay down
How you going to throw my love away
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold
From Twentynine palms to Las Vegas
Walking the desert, wearing this paper hat
Theater of the absurd, I can't stop laughing
You be Jesus, I'll be a siamese cat
They're singing: let it ride, all night
I'm going down, so far down
They're singing: let it ride, all night
I'm going down, and I'll stay down
How you going to throw my love away
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Girl, don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold
How you going to throw my love away
When it's the last one I'll ever know
