[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

Named after a line from Name Taken’s “Panic,” Panic! at the Disco was formed by drummer Spencer Smith, bassist Brent Wilson, guitarist Ryan Ross, and vocalist Brendon Urie, and founded in 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada. While crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical themes, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, they received some much-deserved attention.

They became the first group signed on Pete Wentz’s (bassist in Fall Out Boy) record label, Decaydance Records (now DCD2 Records). Their hit song that started it all, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” remains one of their top two top forty songs along with “Hallelujah.”

They have released six studio A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, Pretty. Odd., Vices & Virtues, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, Death of a Bachelor, and now their most recent album Pray for the Wicked. These last two albums were actually solo projects from Brendon Urie, since all the other members of the band had already left the group before their release dates; in 2006, bassist Brent Wilson was fired due to his “lack of responsibility and the fact that he wasn’t progressing musically with the band.” And in 2009, guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker left the band to “embark on a musical excursion of their own,” forming The Young Veins. Dallon Weekes, who joined the band as a bassist and songwriter in 2009, had become a touring member only by the time Death of a Bachelor was released and later left the band completely in order to focus on his own music. Weekes was replaced by Nicole Row, the first female member of the band.
