Bright light city gonna set my lungs
Gonna set my lungs on fire
Got a whole lot of Covid that's ready to burn
So get those germs up higher
There's a thousand ventilators waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with phlegm to spare
Mata Las Vegas, Mata Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't cough a minute away
Oh, there's N95 masks and the lockdown meal
A fortune won and lost on the Covid deal
All you need's a strong heart and lungs of steel
Mata Las Vegas, Mata Las Vegas
Mata Las Vegas with you life flashin'
And your EKGs crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Mata Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you catch it once
You'll never be the same 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 broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a coughin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
Lady luck please let the head stay hot
Let me get an antidote with ev'ry shot
Mata Las Vegas, Mata Las Vegas
Mata, Mata Las Vegas
