Lyrics and Chords

RIFF Throughout E- F#G-B-A–D

Tick-tock the body will rock, till a state of grace is a state of shock
You’re so tired you need to eat, but you couldn’t face another piece of meat
There’s no business like show business, you feel you’d sell your soul just to kiss
The sweet lips of the one you loved, but you know there’s nothing more than this..

E                                                     D                         A

You can’t dance, you can’t sing, you’re swimming in sin in your water wings

E                                                     D                         A

Shuffle up, fall down, a kindred spirit in a ghost town

E                                                     D                         A

What is it that you want? ?You’ve got to, got to but you know you can’t

E                                                     D                         A

What is it that you want? ?You’ve got to, got to and you know you can..

E min        Gmaj7          A7

Throw down your crown, and put your head in the noose now

E min        Gmaj7          A7

You’re going down, there’s no choice to choose

E min        Gmaj7          A7

Change your fear for fun, don’t think what you’ve done

E min        Gmaj7          A7

Run, run, run, run..

Las Vegas here I come!

Big bucks, money well spent, here lies the magic seven per cent
It’s a broken promise a false command and the rope they hand you is a rope of sand
Clouds shaped like a saxophone, blew up a storm where the light once shone
Step right up to the chopping block and the Friday snowstorm, five o’clock

E                                                     D                         A

You can’t dance, you can’t sing, you’re swimming in sin in your water wings

E                                                     D                         A

Shuffle up, fall down, a kindred spirit in a ghost town

E                                                     D                         A

What is it that you want? ?You’ve got to, got to but you know you can’t

E                                                     D                         A

What is it that you want? ?You’ve got to, got to and you know you can..

E min        Gmaj7          A7

Throw down your crown, and put your head in the noose now

E min        Gmaj7          A7

You’re going down, there’s no choice to choose

E min        Gmaj7          A7

Change your fear for fun, don’t think what you’ve done

E min        Gmaj7          A7

Run, run, run, run..
Las Vegas here I come!

Tick-tock they’ve got you beat you’re just another piece of meat
Home and dry, Kentucky fried, that they know it pays to advertise
Those Texas girls down on the ranch, they know it’s all right for some
But the Gods are dumb, its bubble gum
They’ll blow us all to Kingdom come

E                                                     D                         A

You can’t dance, you can’t sing, you’re swimming in sin in your water wings

Lyrics

Tick-tock the body will rock, till a state of grace is a state of shock
You’re so tired you need to eat, but you couldn’t face another piece of meat
There’s no business like show business, you feel you’d sell your soul just to kiss
The sweet lips of the one you loved, but you know there’s nothing more than this..
You can’t dance, you can’t sing, you’re swimming in sin in your water wings
Shuffle up, fall down, a kindred spirit in a ghost town
What is it that you want?
You’ve got to, got to but you know you can’t
What is it that you want?
You’ve got to, got to and you know you can..
Throw down your crown, and put your head in the noose now
You’re going down, there’s no choice to choose
Change your fear for fun, don’t think what you’ve done
Run, run, run, run..
Las Vegas here I come!
Big bucks, money well spent, here lies the magic seven per cent
It’s a broken promise a false command and the rope they hand you is a rope of sand
Clouds shaped like a saxophone, blew up a storm where the light once shone
Step right up to the chopping block and the Friday snowstorm, five o’clock
You can’t dance..
Throw down your crown, and put your head in the noose now
You’re going down, there’s no choice to choose
Change your fear for fun, don’t think what you’ve done
Run, run, run, run..

Tick-tock they’ve got you beat you’re just another piece of meat

Those Texas girls down on the ranch, they know it’s all right for some
But the Gods are dumb, its bubble gum

You can’t dance..
Throw down your crown, and put your head in the noose now
You’re going down, there’s no choice to choose
Change your fear for fun, don’t think what you’ve done
Run, run, run, run..
Las Vegas here I come!
