Summerlin is an affluent 22,500-acre (9,100 ha) master-planned community under development by The Howard Hughes Corporation in the Las Vegas Valley of Nevada near the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. It lies partially within the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada, and in unincorporated Clark County. Summerlin, named for Howard Hughes’ grandmother, Jean Amelia Summerlin, ranked as the country’s best-selling master-planned community for more than a decade by Robert Charles Lesser & Co.[citation needed] and continues to rank among the top ten best-selling communities in the country some 19 years after development first began.[citation needed] The community includes a variety of land uses, including: residential, commercial, recreational, educational, medical, open space, and cultural. As of November 2010, Summerlin's population was nearly 100,000.[citation needed]
In the mid 1950s Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. purchased 25,000 acres (10,000 ha) in Southern Nevada near Las Vegas. After Hughes died in 1976, Summa Corporation was organized to oversee Hughes’ vast business empire and land holdings, including the large parcel of Southern Nevada desert that is today known as Summerlin.
Let's take a walk into the sunset
Well take our time, So you don't forget
Black lights are strong from off the street sign
Illuminates those eyes, see what's locked inside
I see the way your trying to sneak out
But you can't get out cause your backs against the wall
Your stranger than fiction
It's like you've changed every word on the page
I don't need an answer, Why go through this again?
This is the last time
Something is changing
Between you and I
Don't act surprised
You tare me to pieces
So let's be honest from the start, because I can't take this
You stand me up with out a reason
You better hold your breath, for what's coming next
I'll burn a song you love right down into the ground
Just to make you see what you've done to me and my friends
Your stranger than fiction
I wont tell you again
This is the last time
Something is changing
Between you and I
Don't act surprised
You tare me to pieces
So let's be honest from the start, Because I can't take this
You've got me stuck here the line
Waiting for the ammunition
Over and over again
Just to hear another lie
From every breath you throw aside
But I am not listening
This is the last time
Something is changing
Between you and I
Don't act surprised
You tare me to pieces
