Taken from the Abbey Lounge soundboard in 2005
Originally from the "Betty" EP (released January 1998)
lyrics
the sun goes down at half past eight
the sky stays full of light
prostitutes on st james street with big hair and black tights
well the city sure does get so nice the boardwalk runs for miles
dealers, showgirls, valet boys with the gamblers running wild
some are guests from far away some come for the night
everybody hopes that they place their wagers right
on the floor at taj mahal you can watch them raise & call
like the ones who won before
judy garland's on the stage singing songs that show her age
who could ask for more?
quarters clank and loud bells ring
a man yells out for drinks
four gold bars have run their way
it seems like money's free
beyond the grand casino row jersey staggers on
they leave with less than when they came - acting like they won
on the floor at taj mahal you can watch them risk it all
like the ones who won before
judy garland's on the stage singing songs that show her age
who could ask for more?
