Track Insight / Lyrics
I know every crack in the road
I carry the heavy night load
The desert air tastes like a coin
Where the gold and the gravel join.
Vegas night fare, ride the red line
Under the glare, everything fine
Check all the doors, lock down the gate
The city is loud, we can't be late.
Black suits moving fast through the hall
Hard boots stepping, lean on the wall
The casino floor is a cold trap
One wrong turn and the shutters snap.
Vegas night fare, ride the red line
Under the glare, everything fine
Check all the doors, lock down the gate
The city is loud, we can't be late.
I saw the flash of a blue light beam
Ripping right through a gambler's dream
The dice hit the felt with a dry sound
Silence is heavy on this ground.
Vegas night fare, ride the red line
Under the glare, everything fine
Check all the doors, lock down the gate
The city is loud, we can't be late.
Old men know how the wind will blow
Deep in the gut where the secrets grow
Hold the wheel tight while the engine screams
Tearing the fabric of velvet schemes.
The meter is running on empty now
Wipe the salt from a weathered brow
The strip is a blur of electric white
We drive till we find the end of night.
Vegas night fare, ride the red line
Under the glare, everything fine
Check all the doors, lock down the gate
The city is loud, we can't be late.
Keep the change, kid.
Just keep the change.
Ride the red line.
