City On Fire
She came out of the sea
All sex and what-might-be's
A smile, that could kill you like
A bullet through your brain
A chemical reaction
Those eyes, fatal attraction
Away, before she even tries to say her name
The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
She's a liar
Your city is on fire
From her lips, a siren song
Of everything that's wrong today
And still you try to kiss them anyway
Her golden hair will blind you
Until greed comes to find you to pay
Because you cannot run from judgement day
The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
She's a liar
Your city is on fire
The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
Your city is on fire
Your city is fire
It's the face that launched a thousand ships
The tale is old, but here's the twist
It's your own greed that started this
Your city is on fire
All sex and what-might-be's
A smile, that could kill you like
A bullet through your brain
A chemical reaction
Those eyes, fatal attraction
Away, before she even tries to say her name
The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
She's a liar
Your city is on fire
From her lips, a siren song
Of everything that's wrong today
And still you try to kiss them anyway
Her golden hair will blind you
Until greed comes to find you to pay
Because you cannot run from judgement day
The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
She's a liar
Your city is on fire
The face that launched a thousand ships
Exists to feast on our base desires
The snake-like movements of her hips
Eclipse the deeds her lips inspire
Your city is on fire
Your city is fire
It's the face that launched a thousand ships
The tale is old, but here's the twist
It's your own greed that started this
Your city is on fire
