Vanishing Point
I met him first out at the edge of nowhere
A last chance oasis on the plains
The sky was threatening as he came up to me
Said could you help me beat the rain
Where does it take you this road you travel
He smiled the same place as yourself
To that point out there where all roads vanish
Going to Vegas man where else
Play it straight and play it true my brother
'Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there
I was just another deadbeat loser there the last time
I couldn't even read the signs
But I've got this feeling and there's magic in the cards now
I'm going back to take what's mine
Play it straight and play it true my brother
'Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there
What damned illusion in that neon lightning
A run of luck is in the air
Shining brighter than any flush of diamonds
A magic carpet of despair
Play it straight and play it true my brother
'Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there
Play it straight and play it true my brother
'Cause you're miles from anywhere
As it happens in the world of shadows
Time and distance vanish there
