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
