Live 18 Aug 2002 version
Bright lights city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
I got a whole lotta money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up high
Well there's a thousand pretty women just waiting out there
They're all living just the devil may care
And I'm just a devil with love to spare
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How
I wish that there were more than 24 hours in a day
Even if there were 40 more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away
There's Blackjack, Poker, and a Roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need is money and nerves of steel
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Well, viva Las Vegas with the neon flashing
And your one-armed bandits crashing
All your hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time, turning
Night into day time if you seen it once
You'll never be the same again
Whoa!
???!
I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke, I'll always remember that I had me a swinging time
I'm gonna give it everything I got
Lady Luck won't you let the dice stay hot
Let me shoot the seven with every shot
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, viva
Las Vegas
The above lyrics are for the live 18 Aug 2002 performance of VIVA LAS VEGAS at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, NV, during The Rising Tour.
