Excalibur

Once upon a time In a fever Not a dream nor a mare I know that can’t be right But I’ve seen it In the land of truth or dare Give me your hungry give me your poor All on board the magical sword To build the accomplishments of man From the Bellagio to the Hoover Dam To distinguish a brown paper bag From a string of disappointments Of the American flag By tomorrow remind me of the chant As we're taking the the power plant Forget about Las Vegas What we lost on roulette We’re betting on red And thеre’s no giving up now The future stands ajar To thе night and it’s just getting darker The sky is a perforated car Like the punctured remains of Bonnie Parker Until this day she still haunts the casino halls The burial sites and shopping malls Some days I can’t get out of bed I feel too blue but I’m still seeing red Forget about the battles lost Gotta look ahead We’re betting on red There’s no giving up now
