• Opening bell at the Grand Hotel,
    Las Vegas, USA.
    Open the doors to the white marble floors,
    The night replaces the day.
    One man walks in, smelling of gin,
    And preparing to stink of worse.
    One woman dances with foolish romances,
    Mistakes fill her purse.
    And the boy with the microphone,
    Has to get to a telephone,
    He wants to tell his mother that he's in the show.

    Opening bell at the Grand Hotel,
    The devil is waiting in line.
    Expensive regrets and eleven dollar cigarettes,
    Well at least, boys, I've got mine.
    The boy stands amazed at the wondrous haze,
    Confused, but filled with joy.
    Mother and Father scream at each other,
    And become part of the glorious noise.
    And the girl with the fancy shoes,
    Has got some wonderful news.
    She wants to tell her mother that she's fallen in love.

    Opening bell at the Grand Hotel,
    Chimes with glorious greed.
    The dancer's talk all night of adventures by the black-light,
    That satisfy their needs.
    Boy met the girl and passions unfurled,
    Over whiskey at the bar.
    Went up to his room as bride and groom,
    They'd already made it this far.
    And their passions ran wild.
    Like the starry-eyed child.
    They never told their mother's what they did that night.

    Opening bell at the Grand Hotel,
    No noise comes from their door.
    The devil does a dance and takes his stance,
    Over the white-marble floor.
    Tears stain the walls, as cries fill the halls,
    It's a shame she was so young.
    At least, they said, as they shook their heads,
    She had herself some fun.
    And the boy with the fancy tie.
    Really would have hated to lie.
    He never told his mother where on Earth he'd gone.

    Oh, how could you be one of us?
    Oh, how could you be one of us?
    To be filled with the fire and empty of the lust.
    To be filled with the fire and empty of the lust.

    Opening bell at the Grand Hotel,
    Las Vegas, USA.
    Open the doors to the white marble floors,
    The night replaces the day.
    And the devil with horns of flame.
    And his forked tongue that shoots out blame.
    Called to tell his mother that he's in the show.
