FACELESS IN VEGAS
(Nahkala/McAndrew/Downey)
faceless, i’m so faceless
life is spinning, timeless fending
i stare without a face
money dying, babies home crying
lost without a trace
from behind these eyes I am alive
the city's such a glow
the lights they are familiar
but my mind still doesn't know
i walk these streets alone
a soul without a home
the mirror sees no-one to trust
i'm lost and found........
faceless in Vegas
then sirens wail, and without fail
another dollar bites the dust
wheels are turning, the flames keep burning
the memories start to rust
what ever happened to the life i knew
before cesar dealt this hand
will anyone remember, or will anyone understand
i walk these streets alone
a soul without a home
the mirror sees no-one to trust
i'm lost and found........
faceless in Vegas
faceless in Vegas
in the distance you hear a name
and dream about the game
faceless in Vegas
does it all feel like the same
there’s nothing makes a sound
faceless in Vegas
do you ever close your eyes
or gaze on golden skies
faceless in Vegas
as it softly begins to rain
i walk those streets alone
a heart without a home
the mirror sees no-one to trust
i'm lost and found........
i walk these streets alone
a face without a home
the mirror sees no-one to trust
i'm lost and found........
faceless in Vegas
ohhh
faceless in Vegas
ohhh
Comment:- This song was the result of a chat-room discussion in the wee small hours of the morning that went like this -
[Pleasuredome] 8:24 am: Yup...go for it Curtis!
[Gerk] 8:24 am: man I've seen half an album fly by tonight in song titles
[CurtisDowney66] 8:24 am: lol, there can be a song in anything if you look hard enough
[Pleasuredome] 8:24 am: Where the lights never go down!
[Pleasuredome] 8:25 am: Pulsating fountains
[Pleasuredome] 8:25 am: Chopper for Laughlin
[Gerk] 8:26 am: keep it coming steve
[Pleasuredome] 8:26 am: Desert Speed
[Pleasuredome] 8:26 am: Where's my Sandwich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Gerk] 8:26 am: LMAO
[Brina] 8:26 am: samich!
[Pleasuredome] 8:27 am: You go for Faceless in Vegas Curtis, great idea bro
[CurtisDowney66] 8:27 am: people spending, old ladies starving, and I stare without a face
[CurtisDowney66] 8:28 am: money flying, babies crying, lost without a trace
[Pleasuredome] 8:29 am: From behind these eyes, alive, aglow she gallops on apace
[CurtisDowney66] 8:30 am: all the pretty lights, are nothing but a fuss, when you are living on the edge,
faceless in Vegas
[Pleasuredome] 8:31 am: Decision time arrives again, do I lead or do I chase
[Brina] 8:31 am: dayam...I always wonder if you guys are writing this stuff down
[Pleasuredome] 8:31 am: All the pretty lights, fleeting delights, when you're on the edge, Faceless in
Vegas?
[Pleasuredome] 8:31 am: You take notes Brina....and pitch in!
[CurtisDowney66] 8:31 am: i just did a copy paste, cuz I won't remember it in the morning
[Pleasuredome] 8:32 am: Desert horizon flanks my view, another dollar bites the dust
[CurtisDowney66] 8:33 am: do you know where money lives, does it live in it's own space, or does it find a
way to spend, alone without a face
[Pleasuredome] 8:34 am: In the parking lot golden chariots stand, and none will fail from rust
[Gerk] 8:34 am: yo go guys
[Pleasuredome] 8:34 am: Ceasar stands nearby with his winking eye, beckoning all go in
[CurtisDowney66] 8:34 am: a stranger holds your hand, with whom you do not trust
[Pleasuredome] 8:36 am: Then the sirens wail and without fail, the streets they readjust
[CurtisDowney66] 8:36 am: I am just copying and pasting everything, and I will try to piece it all together
later
[Pleasuredome] 8:36 am: Faceless in Vegas
[Pleasuredome] 8:36 am: Wher money no longer talks
[Pleasuredome] 8:37 am: And the necks are dorned with rocks
[Brina] 8:37 am: dorned?
[CurtisDowney66] 8:37 am: in the distance you hear a name, does it all seem like the same, do you ever
close your eyes, and dream about the game
[Pleasuredome] 8:38 am: Wheels are turning in your head, think your fortunes are being made
[Pleasuredome] 8:38 am: And on the fringes someone keeps a watchfull eye
[CurtisDowney66] 8:38 am: but still you don't hear a sound, as it softly begins to rain
[Pleasuredome] 8:38 am: As in the heavens choppers fly
[Pleasuredome] 8:38 am: Faceless in Vegas
[Pleasuredome] 8:39 am: Then the mornign comes around, nothing changes in the sound
[Pleasuredome] 8:39 am: Still the dynamo she hums into the day
[CurtisDowney66] 8:40 am: are you frigetened by the sight, when noone is around
[Pleasuredome] 8:40 am: Not a sight you'll ever see in Vegas
[CurtisDowney66] 8:41 am: still the mirror knows who not to trust...faceless in vegas
[Pleasuredome] 8:41 am: What about this (gambling addiction) I look in the mirror and don't know whether
I should trust! Faceless in Vegas!
[Pleasuredome] 8:42 am: Yeah, dorned is like adorned Brina.
[CurtisDowney66] 8:42 am: we still need an ending
[CurtisDowney66] 8:43 am: i got enough copied and pasted now to write 2 versions I think...lol
[Pleasuredome] 8:43 am: A lotta fine-tuning too! Do we resolve that we'd rather have things the way they
are, forget the wealth?
[CurtisDowney66] 8:45 am: once I jump into my plane, and remember why I came, was there ever any
lust, while faceless in vegas
[CurtisDowney66] 8:45 am: I am definately gonna try to patch this all together, just for kicks if anything
[Pleasuredome] 8:46 am: That was cool Curtis, well done bro, I would suggest replacing "Was there ever
any lust" with "it was fun to play the game".......I'm out!
[CurtisDowney66] 8:46 am: I write alot of songs this way, just jotting down usless mumble, then I
concentrate on a melody, then make it all fit
[Pleasuredome] 8:47 am: It's gonna be killer bro
[CurtisDowney66] 8:47 am: oh yeh, alot of changes will have to be made to make it fit, or to make it make
sense...lol
[Pleasuredome] 8:48 am: Real-time collabing (or as near as we can get!)...cool!
