Last Night Of The Riviera Lyrics

I know the stars are there but I don't see them

The Desert Inn has sung its song

Take a seat there, enjoy the show

'Cos pretty soon it will be gone

Thunderbird and Hacienda

Untold buried memories

Some defied investigation

Sordid documentaries

Shifting Sands and Castaways

No more Dunes for holidays

El Rancho Vegas was once as right here

I'll let you in, come see my Vermeer

Anything that you may dream of

We're never known for saying no

Frankie, and a Steak, then a wild bomb party

If you've got the money you can go

Shifting Sands and Castaways

No more Dunes for holidays

El Rancho Vegas was once as right here

I'll let you in, come see my Vermeer

Down to the felt I've never felt so down

Never been so thirsty is there any water in this town?

No-one's going anywhere in the day or the night

No clocks and no windows just sound and light

Why do I still dream of a storybook ending

Why do I believe it will fly me away

Fireworks and timed implosions

A grand finale worthy of a king

Making way for the new improvement

And sentimental don't mean a thing

Shifting Sands and Castaways

No more Dunes for holidays

El Rancho Vegas was once as right here

You can't beat the system and you can't beat the money

The Riviera's been and gone

As the dust settles in the pale moonlight

The bells keep ringing on through the night

Tomorrow's dream can carry on
