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

They were beautiful in all the right places

She kept her rendez-vous with soap 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

Woah, burning



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 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

Woah, burning, burning, burning



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, baby

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

Woah, burning, burning, yeah



You know I love you, baby

I'd never hurt you

You know you're my girl



All's fair in love and war

But war is hell



In the heat of the night

In the middle of the big bad city
