Lil Miss Las Vegas
Neon Tales: Unveiling the Enigmatic World of Lil Miss Las Vegas
Lyrics
Limousines like black cats in the streets
Limousines symbolize luxury and elegance, akin to black cats roaming the streets.
They prowl in heat for cheap Mojave suites
Luxurious cars roam eagerly in search of affordable Mojave suites.
Through traffic lights as neon signs direct
Limousines navigate through traffic lights guided by neon signs to reach a hotel lobby.
Them to a lobby's steps with love letters in cheques
Arriving at the lobby, love is expressed through both words (letters) and financial transactions (cheques).
To Lil Miss Las Vegas
The focus shifts to a character named Lil Miss Las Vegas.

And I return the gesture as it pays to be kind

Then the DJ says

Alrighty all you ladies and leaches

I want you to get down like it's 1942
A directive to dance as if it were 1942.
And all you squares in the corner I got one question for ya
A question posed to those hesitating in the corner, questioning their motives or fears.
Are you waiting for someone or something to run from
Asking if they are waiting for someone or something to escape from.
Well here comes one right now
An announcement that what they are waiting for is approaching.

And now I sit here with this old image in hand

And down below I see James Dean preaching on the streets
