“Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” is the first track on Brandon Flowers’s first solo album, Flamingo. In this emotional song, Flowers paints a picture Las Vegas, Nevada, and the way the city affects those who travel there hoping to succeed.
Written in second-person narrative, The song follows a Vegas...
[Verse 1]
You woke up in the rusted frame
Of a burned out old DeVille
Your legs are shot and they're flushed with pain
But you can't keep them still
The sun sets and you're afraid
Of that itching in your skin
You stumble down the boulevard
Of neon encrusted temples
You're looking for the grace of God
In the arms of a fellow stranger
Disciples hand you catalogs of concubines
As you stumble down the boulevard crying "Hosanna"
[Pre-Chorus]
Welcome to fabulous
Welcome to fabulous
[Chorus]
Las Vegas
Give us your dreamers
Your harlots and your sin
Las Vegas
Didn't nobody tell you
The house will always win?
[Verse 2]
Cameras on the ceiling tile
No place for you to hide
It's a hundred seven and you're looking for shade
That no palm tree can provide
But there's a little girl you remember
Back in Tennessee
You have this reoccurring dream
Where you see her playing hide and seek
With a woman who
Used to know you very well
[Bridge]
Sunsets and neon lights
Call girls and neon lights
Black jack and lady luck
Cocaine and lady luck
You call upon her
On holy knees tonight
[Outro]
In Las Vegas
Give us your dreamers
Your harlots and your sin
Las Vegas
Didn't nobody tell you?
Didn't nobody tell you?
Didn't nobody tell you
The house will always win?
