Paper Hat

From Idle Wild to Las Vegas
Walk in the desert wearing this paper hat
Stop for a minute in wonderland alley
I'll be Alice, you be the cheshire cat

They're singin', let it ride all night
I'm goin' down, so far down
They're singin', let it ride all night
I'm goin' down, and I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Girl, don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold

Theatre of the grotesque, I can't stop blame
And I'm still losing after all this time
Fly me direct to Bermuda or connect in Miami
Take me somewhere to fix my worried mind

They're singin', let it rain, bring the pain
I'm goin' down, so far down
They're singin', let it rain, bring the pain
I'm goin' down and I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winnin' hand I'll ever hold

Through twenty nine arms to Las Vegas
Walk in the desert wearin' this paper hat
Theatre of the absurd, I can't stop laughin'
You be Jesus, I'll be a siamese cat

They're singin', let it ride all night
I'm goin' down, so far down
They're singin', let it ride all night
I'm goin' down and I'll stay down

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it's the last one I'll ever know
Girl, don't you throw my love away
It feels like the last winning hand I'll ever hold

How you gonna throw my love away?
When it's the last one I'll ever know
