 Las Vegas Basement
Easy,  when life's a bitter pill you swallow down  with your last breath.
And  find me alone, and trapped amidst superlatives and greed.  Shine underneath.
 I was thrown  out of the crib  into the snow.
 I was born  to entertain,  so here i go.
Not  easy, but your hands around my neck could be construed  as your being rude.
Find  the dinner gong, put down my fork, start my song cause I  could be
 anything you want me to  be.
 Top or bottom.  Face the monster,  let him know.
 I was born  to entertain,  so here i go.
 (easy.. heavy Wah solo in D major hes playing the 3rd 4th 5th and root
 really )
 Top or bottom.  Face the monster,  let him know.
 I was born  to entertain,  so here i go..  once more
 I was thrown  under before  i got to sing.
 Only to  be now forgotten.
 Only to  be now forgotten.
