Castles Burning

Jimmy wanted her the moment that she stumbled his way

With a cocktail in her hand, she knew how she'd win the game

There were beautiful in all the right places

She keeps her rendezvous with soup opera faces

She started rumors that were driving him crazy

He couldn't stop the things they'd say



And they live for, passion, love and pain

In a rage of jealousy and fame

And they watch their dreams go up on flames



Castles burning... in the dead of night

Castles burning... in the dead of night

Wo... burnin'...



In the kingdom of pretenders love is not what it seems

Jimmy cried and then he punished her

No one heard her scream

On the outside, it's all crimson and clover

On the inside, they know it's over



And the band of lawyers that steal the show

As they watch their world go up in smoke



Castles burning... in the dead of night

Castles burning... in the dead of night

Wo... burnin'... burnin'... burnin'... burnin'...



(spoken words)

When we return a story of a 5 alarm fire

Late last night in the prestigious hollywood hills

Where one of the most controversial marriages in the

Entertainment industry went up in smoke, arson is suspected

It is still under investigation...



You know i love you, you know you're my girl,

I'd never hurt you... no



Castles burning... in the dead of night

Castles burning... in the dead of night

Burnin'... burnin'



All is fair in love and war, but war is hell...

In the heart of the night, in the middle of the big bad city
