Verse 1
The valet is screaming, the engine is hot
I’m taking the curve, giving all that I’ve got
I see the black awning, the velvet and gold
Where the secrets of Hollywood never get old
A girl in the lobby with stars in her eyes
Is selling her soul for a piece of the prize
The glitter is falling like snow on the floor
Once you go in, you’ll be begging for more!
Pre-Chorus
The bouncer is laughing, he’s letting us through
I’m looking for trouble, and I’m looking for you
The air is electric, the smoke is a haze
We’re losing our minds in the purple-red blaze!
Chorus
Midnight at the Mirage! Where the legends go to play
Midnight at the Mirage! Chasing the shadows away
The champagne is flowing, the guitars are loud
We’re disappearing inside of the crowd
It’s a neon oasis, a diamond mirage
A high-speed collision in a glitter garage!
Verse 2
There’s a ghost on the stage with a Gibson in hand
Playing the blues for a ghost-town band
The models are dancing on tables of glass
While the kings of the strip watch the commoners pass
You want to be famous? You want to be free?
Then come take a walk in the jungle with me
It’s a beautiful nightmare, a silk-covered sin
And nobody ever wants the morning to begin!
Bridge
(Guitar Solo: Slick, melodic, and full of "attitude" bends. Very flashy, using the wah-pedal to mimic a human voice.)
DON’T LOOK AT THE CLOCK!
DON’T LOOK AT THE LIGHTS!
WE’RE THE KINGS...
OF THE HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS!
WELCOME TO THE SHOW!
Chorus
Midnight at the Mirage! Where the legends go to play
Midnight at the Mirage! Chasing the shadows away
The champagne is flowing, the guitars are loud
We’re disappearing inside of the crowd
It’s a neon oasis, a diamond mirage
A high-speed collision in a glitter garage!
Outro
It’s all just an illusion, baby!
But it feels so real!
Keep the drinks coming!
(Fade out with the sound of a cheering crowd and a funky guitar scratch)
