Wanna lie with you forever in what's left of the West, oh
I've never seen you not looking your best
White sands and cigarettes crashing like old regrets
If this ain't heaven, I don't know what is
It's raining in the Hills again
I know it's ash, but let's pretend
I'll call you when I need a friend
You'll answer when Hell freezes over
Practice penitence
All our glorious irrelevance
You needed me once
I know you did
I dreamed a dream
That we had it all
From our white paper houses
Overlooking the cars
The city was burning
Still we smiled through it all
Now like our white paper houses
Darling, we're caught in the fire (Fire)
Like the sex and drugs and rock 'n roll
The past is unsustainable
The ballerina twirled and choked
And now she's spinning end over end
I wanna make amends
For the smile I broke down at the stem
I loved you once
I know I said that I did
I dreamed a dream
That we had it all
From our white paper houses
Overlooking the cars
The city was burning
Still we smiled through it all
Now like our white paper houses
Darling, we're burning alive
I had it all to
To give to you
We're burning alive
We're burning alive (Alive)
Flammable like
Like cheap perfume
We're burning alive
We're burning alive
I promised you a mansion
Then we settled for the Hills
Told you we could have it all
Then I tore up your precious will
Party favors brought the guests
Spilled the bottle, spent the rent
Filling empty houses with old dead friends
If I told you I loved you
Could we have it all again?
I dreamed a dream
That we had it all
From our white paper houses
Overlooking the cars
The city was burning
Still we smiled through it all
Now like our white paper houses
Darling, we're burning alive
I dreamed a dream
That we had it all
From our white paper houses
Overlooking the cars
The city was burning
Still we smiled through it all
Now like our white paper houses
Darling, we're burning alive
I had it all to
To give to you
We're burning alive
We're burning alive (Alive)
Flammable like
Like cheap perfume
Like our white paper houses
Darling, we're caught in the fire
