Bill Beare - The Lights in Vegas Lyrics

The Lights in Vegas

The lights have all gone out in Vegas
The Red Squares have all turned green
The ivory towers are all covered in flowers
And bird songs abound where once were the sounds of machines

Where dead is dead with no regrets
That's the end and there's nothing profound
Cycles roll without a goal
And nothing too old hanging round

And the songs are all sung in harmony
Though the words have all blown away
The souls and the blessed have all been left
Behind in a yesterday

Where would you be? where would you be?
In everything part of it all
Is there room for you, time for me?
Or would we feel just too small
Unsure and unsafe with no walls
Where would you be? where would you be?
In a world with no why or when
Could we be freed, free from the need?
To start it all over again

Yes, the lights have all gone out in Vegas
And the Red Squares have all turned green
And the ivory towers are all covered in flowers
And the future looks bright; yes, I think the world likes being clean
