"Castles Burning" Lyrics

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
