lyrics

Las Vegas Shuffle (Music: van Buuren, Lyrics: Wake)
After two weeks in the desert
I was drivin’ down the Strip
nothin’ I could do
could prepare me for this trip to
Las Vegas, Las Vegas
the city of eternal light
we’re gonna do the shuffle
the Las Vegas shuffle tonight

They gotta little bit of Paris
a little bit of Rome
all the wonders of the world
without ever leaving home
Las Vegas, Las Vegas
it isn’t just place to get rich
we’ll do the Las Vegas shuffle
and shuffle by a little more kitsch

You can deal me in
you can deal me in
Las Vegas, Las Vegas …
deal me in
so I can pay off my credit cards
and pay off my mortgage when I win

Now let’s shuffle on over
to the slot machine
we’re gonna make a fortune
in the city of dreams
I’m feeling lucky, I’m feeling lucky
I hope I get lucky tonight
we’ll do the Las Vegas shuffle
the Las Vegas shuffle all night

We’re gonna do the shuffle
the Las Vegas shuffle
we’re gonna do the shuffle tonight
we’re gonna do the shuffle
the Las Vegas shuffle
we’re gonna do it till we get it right
and if we do the shuffle
the Las Vegas shuffle
then maybe I’ll get lucky tonight

about

Jim Wake & Sleepwalker Netherlands

Jim Wake and Sleepwalker, like the musical traditions in blues, rock ’n’ roll, and rhythm blues from which the band draws inspiration, is an experience defying easy description. It is music that swings, drives, bumps and grinds, moans and groans, screams and shouts, and then steps back and turns introspective, plaintive, or nostalgic. ... more
