Lyrics
Hello and welcome to the city. You know what happens here stays. The bright lights are oh so pretty, they'll set your mind ablaze. Little lies and alibis and all the lust it will entice. Ever yearning, always burning on through the sleepless night.
Pre-Chorus
What ya got, what ya want, what ya got, what ya need? You're what I need. What ya got, what ya want, what ya got, what ya need? You're what I need.
Chorus
Fever! Las Vegas, Fever! Las Vegas. Going down, down, down, Going down. Going down, down, down, going down.
It wants to wrap you up in rapture. It wants to set you on fire. Give you all the mischief you can handle, fill your every desire. Neon lights, long good nights, sequins, sin, and appetite. Compulsion, desire, seduction, delight.
Pre-Chorus
