Viva Las Vegas Songtext

von Dead Kennedys

Bright lights city gonna set my soul
It's gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up high

There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there
They're all waiting the Devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare, so

VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS!

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty four hours in the day.
Even if I ran out of speed, boy
I wouldn't sleep a minute of the way

Oh there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal.
All you need is sonar and nerves of steel, so

VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Viva Las Vegas where the neon signs are flashing and
The one arm bandits crashing All hopes down the drain.
Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time
Turning night into daytime
If you see it once, you'll never be the same again.

Gotta keep on running Gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime If I wind up broke
Then I'll always remember That I had a swingin' time.

Oh, I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady Luck's with me, the dice stay hot
Got coke up my nose to dry away the snot, so

VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS! VIVA LAS VEGAS!
VIVA! VIVA! Las Vegas!!!
