  • One, two, three, four, five
    Six, seven, eight, nine, ten

    Ten, nine, eight, seven, six
    Five, four, three, two, one

    Ooh, five, four, three, two, one, ooh
    Ooh, five, four, three, two, one, ooh

    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

    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 'til the curtain's coming down

    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

    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 'til the curtain's coming down

    Ooh, five, four, three, two, one, ooh
    Ooh, five, four, three, two, one, ooh

    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? (would you change it if you could?)

    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 'til 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 'til the curtain's coming down

    We're swimming with the sharks until we drown
    We're winning 'til the curtain's coming down Writer/s: Brendon Boyd Urie, Butch Walker, Dallon James Weekes, Joseph Raposo
