Laura works the
counter selling make-up, At an upscale shopping mall
Near the cabana’s of
the Tropicana, On Las Vegas boulevard
Sellin'
lipstick in Las Vegas
Ruby red is for the
dancer looking for an answer, With shadow and some rouge
She says Laura can you
help me my old man’s been drinking , I need to hide this bruise
Could ya paint my
smile on perfectly, Cover up where the tears have run
See I’ve got my babies
mouth to feed and, The show must go on
Chorus
Sellin'
lipstick in Las Vegas - To help the showgirls smile
And paint on the
illusion - For just a little while
Sellin'
lipstick in Las Vegas
Pink is for the woman
who used to be the best one, Twenty years ago
Wore the finest
feathers and exotic leathers, And artificial stones
Laura help him see me
beautiful like he did in the early days
Said she’d found
another wrinkle and it’s the one she thinks’ll, Make him turn
away
Chorus
She’s hear the stories
of faded glories, More than she can remember
All of life’s lessons
and more confessions, Than a priest or bartender
Sellin' lipstick in
Las Vegas
Lipstick in Las Vegas,
Lipstick in Las Vegas |
