ZZ Top – Viva Las Vegas Lyric

aus dem Album Greatest Hits (1992)

Bright light city gonna set my soul gonna set my soul on fire
there's a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
so get those stakes up higher

There's a thousand pretty women just a-waiting out there
and they're all living devil-may-care
and I'm just the devil with a love to spare

Viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas

And how I wish that there were more than twenty-four hours in the day
but even if there were forty more I wouldn't sleep a minute away
oh there's blackjack and pocker and a roulette wheel
a fortune won and lost on every deal
all you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel

Viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing
and your one-armed bandits crashing all those hopes down the drain
viva Las Vegas turning day into nighttime
turn the night into daytime if you see it once you'll never come home again

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 broken then I'll always remember that I had a swinging time
I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady Luck please let the dice stay hot let me shoot a seven with every shot

Viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas viva Las Vegas viva viva
