With a cocktail in her hand, she knew how she'd win the game
They were beautfiul in all the right places
She kept her rendezvous with soap opera faces
She started rumours 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 in flames

Castles burning... in the dead of night
Castles burning... in the dead of night
Whoa... burnin'.. burnin' 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 outsdie, 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
Whoa... burnin'..
Burnin'.. burnin'.. burnin'.. burnin'..

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
Castles burning... in the dead of night
Castles burning... in the dead of night, burnin', burnin'

Castles burnin'.. you know I love you baby,
You know you're my girl

All is fair in love and war, but war is hell...
In the heat of the night, in the middle of the big bad city
