(Verse 1)
Cigarette smoke curls around the twilight, paints the desert sky in shades of rose
Neon bleeds a hollow promise, a mirage where pleasure grows
Los Angeles in the rearview, a heart that's singed and worn so thin
But Vegas beckons, a gambler's hymn, a chance to lose and maybe win

(Chorus)
This city's a sinner dipped in glitter, a kaleidoscope of restless nights
Where every touch ignites a flicker, a hunger for forbidden bites
Like moths to a flame, we chase obsession, a carousel that spins too fast
But darling, even diamonds need a blemish, gotta know the darkness to appreciate the last

(Verse 2)
Sinatra croons from dusty speakers, a melody of lovesick years
Lost souls adrift in neon seekers, chasing highs to drown the tears
Some are chained to gilded cages, roulette hearts that never roam
While others paint the town in rages, searching for a temporary home

(Chorus)
This city's a sinner dipped in glitter, a kaleidoscope of restless nights
Where every touch ignites a flicker, a hunger for forbidden bites
Like moths to a flame, we chase obsession, a carousel that spins too fast
But darling, even diamonds need a blemish, gotta know the darkness to appreciate the last

(Bridge)
Maybe sadness is the only entry, the toll we pay for hearts set free
Maybe living means a little dying, shedding skins to truly be
The desert wind whispers secrets, a lullaby of bittersweet refrain
That the sun will rise on broken pieces, and love will bloom again after the rain

(Chorus)
This city's a sinner dipped in glitter, a kaleidoscope of restless nights
Where every touch ignites a flicker, a hunger for forbidden bites
Like moths to a flame, we chase obsession, a carousel that spins too fast
But darling, even diamonds need a blemish, gotta know the darkness to appreciate the last

(Outro)
Vegas, a desert paradise, a neon oasis in the sand
Aching hearts and restless eyes, searching for a promised land
We'll dance with shadows, hand in hand, in this city that never sleeps
Knowing the sweetest songs are unplanned, and the strongest love, the one that weeps
