Paper Rain

I got an old black limousine

Pack my suit and pawn the last of our precious metal

And my blue eyes never looked so green

I got a debt to pay and a date with the devil

I got mouths to feed

I gotta get level

Oh Las Vegas

I'm running out of time

And my youth is all but ashes

If I don't make church by 9

I'll be praying on the drive

Past the lake as fake as a showgirl's lashes

That I'm gonna turn our luck around

Gonna take this town

Gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out

Yeah I'm gonna turn our luck around

I'm gonna make you proud

I'm gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out

And paper rain pouring down

Paper rain pouring down

I rented a room at the Desert Queen

I shaved my face and I combed my hair and I checked the weather

And I see clouds where the mountains meet

The valley floor where the neon soars like a hand to heaven

I got work to do

Rollin them sevens

Oh Las Vegas

I'm running out of time

And my youth is all but ashes

If I don't make church by 9

I'll be praying on the drive

Past the lake as fake as a showgirl's lashes

That I'm gonna turn our luck around

I'm gonna take this town

I'm gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out

Yeah I'm gonna turn our luck around

I'm gonna make you proud

I'm gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out

And the paper rain pouring down

Paper rain pouring down

Got a stack on the line and a stack behind

Rollin like a wave on a moonlit night

Money on the four and money on the eight

Paying down the marker 'cause the bank won't wait

Stack on the line and a stack behind

Rollin like a wave on a moonlit night

Money on the four and money on the eight

Paying down the marker 'cause the bank won't wait

I'm gonna turn our luck around

I'm gonna take this town

I'm gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out

Yeah I'm gonna turn our luck around

I'm gonna make you so proud

I'm gonna walk these flooded streets like a king with my umbrella out

And paper rain pouring down

Paper rain pouring down
