Next Stop, Vegas Please
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 by Leia / Rome
I just finished transcribing the lyrics of, what I feel is, one of the sexiest sounding songs I've ever heard in my life. Vegas by Sara Bareilles. I can't get tired of it. It has that rhythmic, beautiful, bluesy groove for me. Reminds me of Sade's No Ordinary Love.
Sometimes in my musical adventures, certain songs throw me off-guard with the brillance of its lyrics and arrangement. I'm glad that last weekend I devoted my complete attention to Sara Bareilles. Now, I understand why people gravitate toward her. She deserves all the love for her music. Without further ado, here's the full lyrics to the song. If you like reading it, it's better when you listen to it. Trust me. Enjoy!

Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
'Cause somebody told me
That's where dreams would be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where
Dreamers should go
I’m gonna quit my job and move to New York
Tattoo my body with every Broadway show
Listen up now honey
You're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame
No money
I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down on my knees
Next stop
Vegas please
I gotta get to Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?
Gonna sell my house and cross the border
'Cause somebody told me dreams live in Mexico
I’m gonna sell my house
I got to lose ten pounds
And cross the border
Make sweet love upon the white sandy shore
Listen up now honey
You're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame
No money
I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down on my knees
But next stop
Vegas please
It's always just around the corner
Or you're on your way to somewhere
That is bigger
Better
If you could only get there
It's never your fault
You can't start your own winning streak
But I'd hate to lose you
To the fortune you seek
I'm wanna lose my mind and sail the ocean
'Cause somebody told me
There were cherry blue skies
I'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination
And have a deep sleep upon a sweet dream
I'll never realize
No
Listen up now honey
You're gonna be sorry
Can't get out from under a sky that is falling
And you say
No fame
No money
I'm nobody
The way I'm running has sure got me down on my knees
But next stop
Vegas please
Can you take me to Vegas?
I need to see Vegas
Can you take me to Vegas?
'Cause somebody told me
That's where dreams would be
Gonna sell my car and go to Vegas
Finally see my name upon the Palace marquis
Gonna quit my job and move to New York
'Cause somebody told me that's where

I’m gonna quit my job and move to New York
Tattoo my body with every Broadway show
