Crack In The Pearl

Lyrics

In the backroom of the Elmaco casino  
Under the portrait of Doris Day  
You and I, and a pair of c-notes  
Soft candy betting, hard eight (our date?)  
  
Not quite how you laid it out for me  
When we split up that night, that night  
Comin' out of the sunset marquee  
Before you left to deal the fine white  
  
Is this how you've pictured me?  
Is this how you thought it would be?  
We got right with the usual (mutual?) problem  
That got right between you and me  
I told you the girl would be trouble  
I said she was going to break us  
Leave us lost in the rust and the rubble.  
  
[Outro]  
Nine exits north of Las Vegas, Vegas  
Nine exits north of Las Vegas
