Reflections of a dead man dancing with a glass eye Beautiful like vampires and tyrannies dressed in white ties Crawl out of a manhole with a cheap bag of sugar The devils in the backroom making deals with the butcher Dead roses in the valley never bothered to bloom But up in Hollywood you get caught up with the doomed Looking for a beautiful ghost One who wants to dance all night Yeah I wanna burn it down Strung out with the city lights Strung out with the city lights Teenage girls on sunset drinking cheap perfume Smoke drifts off a crack pipe gettin' torn and bruised Kings and queens they're barking at the moon Welcome to a world where everybody gets used Looking for a beautiful ghost One who wants to dance all night Yeah I wanna burn it down Strung out with the city lights Take me to the other side Somewhere with a sign of life Yeah I wanna burn it down Strung out with the city lights Humanity's a filthy mess Pray for streams of consciousness Souls are sold for nothing less Beg for streams of consciousness Looking for a beautiful ghost One who wants to dance all night Yeah I wanna burn it down Strung out with the city lights Take me to the other side Somewhere with a sign of life Yeah I wanna burn it down Strung out with the city lights Strung out with the city lights Strung out with the city lights
