Verse 1 Chords:
The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale

The hidden cameras on the casino floor
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors, oh, come on
Pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
Post-Verse:

And they feed them little bribes and then they go

You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled

Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still, oh, come on
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
Their empty.....................
