The Lyrics

This is a response to "Viva Las Vegas" that expresses exactly the opposite sentiments the original voiced. It is NOT meant to be performed in the lively manner of the original! Instead, play it tuned several steps DOWN and slow the pace to barely one eighth. Even the TITLE should be a red flag that this is an ATTACK on Presley with intent to DESTROY him; "muerte" is Spanish for "death."
Mortal Sin City’s gonna damn my soul gonna damn my soul to hell
Made by a mobster who got offed himself and did not live to tell
Clark County's county seat is an evil place
Where rock's alleged king fattened up his face
And old school showbiz goes there to go to waste
Muerte Las Vegas Muerte Las Vegas

Organized crime has been controlling it since Ben Siegel made his score
Go to sleep with millions and the very next day you won’t wake any more
Hookers leave you broke while they’re on their backs
Casinos rob you blind at every table and track
And don’t even start on hopheads peddling smack
Muerte Las Vegas Muerte Las Vegas

Muerte Las Vegas with your corpses stinking
And your safety shrinking
The rule of law till it up and dies
Muerte Las Vegas turning cops to crime
Running you out of time
Don’t go there at all
Or you’ll end up dead with glassy eyes

I’ll never play there instead I’ll see to it that everybody else stays away
The money to be made just isn’t worth the risk of being murdered any day
Gambling’s all odds but every game is rigged
You’ll find yourself broken like a dried-up twig
You’d better pick your grave that someone else is gonna dig
Muerte Las Vegas Muerte Las Vegas
Muerte Las Vegas Muerte Muerte Las Vegas
