“Vegas Lights” was written as an ode to Sin City, discussing both its positive attributes and its negative ones. The intro samples a song from Sesame Street, which may be a nod to Brendon’s childhood growing up in Las Vegas.
It was featured in a video that Fall Out Boy made to announce that Panic!...
[Intro]
One, two, three, four, five
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten...
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six
Five, four, three, two, one
[Refrain]
Whoa-oh! Five, four, three, two, one
Whoa-oh!
Whoa-oh! Five, four, three, two, one
Whoa-oh!
[Verse 1]
Oh, if you only knew what we've been up to
I guarantee you'd keep it secret
So give it to me now, we're lost in a dream now
Do it (Five, four, three, two) one more time
[Chorus]
In the Vegas lights
Where villains spend the weekend, the deep end
We're swimming with the sharks until we drown
The Vegas lights
The lies and affectations, sensation
We're winning till the curtain's coming down
[Verse 2]
Ain't it so, ain't it so perfect?
Our cynical minds will make it totally worth it
So give it to me now, we're lost in a dream now
Do it (Five, four, three, two) one more time
[Chorus]
In the Vegas lights
Where villains spend the weekend, the deep end
We're swimming with the sharks until we drown
The Vegas lights
The lies and affectations, sensation
We're winning till the curtain's coming down
[Refrain]
Whoa-oh! Five, four, three, two, one
Whoa-oh!
Whoa-oh! Five, four, three, two, one
Whoa-oh!
[Bridge]
And we're all not here for nothing
And we're bored with looking good
We gotta be starting something
Would you change it if you could?
And we're all not here for nothing
(Would you change it if you could?)
And we're bored with looking good
(Would you change it if you could?)
We gotta be starting something
(Would you change it if you could?)
Would you change it if you could?
[Chorus]
In the Vegas lights
Where villains spend the weekend, the deep end
We're swimming with the sharks until we drown
The Vegas lights
The lies and affectations, sensation
We're winning till the curtain's coming down
In the Vegas lights
Where villains spend the weekend, the deep end
We're swimming with the sharks until we drown
The Vegas lights
The lies and affectations, sensation
We're winning till the curtain's coming down
[Outro]
Whoa-oh! Five, four, three, two, one! Whoa-oh!
We're swimming with the sharks until we drown
Whoa-oh! Five, four, three, two, one! Whoa-oh!
We're winning till the curtain's coming down
