(Verse 1)
Red lights dripping on the boulevard,
You pull up looking like a movie star,
Gold on your skin, danger in your eyes,
We both know paradise comes with a price.
Everybody watching, nobody knows,
How much damage hides behind these clothes,
Smile for the cameras, bleed in private rooms,
Champagne kisses mixed with sweet perfume.
(Pre-Chorus)
You touch my neck,
The city disappears,
For a second I forget
All my fears.
(Chorus)
We make love in a warzone,
Bodies glowing like a cyclone,
Hearts loaded, safety gone,
Still dancing while the world burns on.
Baby, we're fire and gasoline,
The prettiest disaster I've ever seen,
If tonight is all we're ever gonna own,
Let's build a kingdom in a warzone.
(Verse 2)
Black leather angel with a diamond soul,
You make broken look beautiful,
Everybody wants what we became,
But they don't know the cost of fame.
Screens flashing, headlines scream,
Nothing is as perfect as it seems,
Yet when you're moving in that neon light,
You make darkness feel alive tonight.
(Pre-Chorus)
Your lipstick stain,
My guilty pleasure,
We're running out of time,
But chasing forever.
(Chorus)
We make love in a warzone,
Bodies glowing like a cyclone,
Hearts loaded, safety gone,
Still dancing while the world burns on.
Baby, we're fire and gasoline,
The prettiest disaster I've ever seen,
If tonight is all we're ever gonna own,
Let's build a kingdom in a warzone.
(Bridge)
Tell me lies in a velvet tone,
Make me feel like I'm not alone,
The moon is watching from above,
Two survivors dressed up as love.
No white flags,
No surrender,
Just your touch
And sweet danger.
(Final Chorus)
We make love in a warzone,
Turn the ashes into gold,
Every scar becomes a story,
Every story gets retold.
Baby, we're fire and gasoline,
A beautiful, tragic fantasy,
If heaven's lost and we're on our own,
Then you're my home in this warzone.
(Outro)
The city's falling,
The stars are frozen,
But I still find peace
Inside your warzone.
