Shameless Honeymoon

I was working in Vegas selling cigarettes
He was dealing dirty, taking desperate bets
Despite the haze and the deepening debts
We’d be in the money soon

Let me tell you now how it all began
We were low on luck but we had a plan
All we needed was the getaway van
For our shameless honeymoon

It was a shameless (SHAMELESS!) honeymoon
The stakes couldn’t get any higher
We were under the gun, it was over too soon
and the crackerjack rings are in the evidence room

The deck was stacked, not a game of chance
And we made our move in a risky dance
All to improve our circumstance
To the beat of a funny tune

It all went down like it did before
He bagged the cash while I guarded the door
‘til guns were drawn and we hit the floor
and blew our shameless honeymoon

It was a shameless (SHAMELESS!) honeymoon
The stakes couldn’t get any higher
We were under the gun, it was over too soon
and the crackerjack rings are in the evidence room

They tossed the key when they threw him in jail
But there’s a tangled ending to my twisted tail
Cause I’m doing time on a different scale
Undercover in the bunny room

In the dark of his cell, in the wake of the sting
He raised his head to hear the steel door swing
In a pack of smokes, he found a ring
Here comes another honeymoon

It was a shameless (SHAMELESS!) honeymoon
The stakes couldn’t get any higher
We were under the gun, it was over too soon
and the rings went missing from the evidence room
