lyrics

Summer night, sticky hot and molten
Setting sun filling me with golden light
Sets the trees on fire

Shield your eyes
The world's on fire

Palm trees, the California coastline
Freeways stretching on for miles and miles
Headlights like fireflies

Shield your eyes
The world's on fire

We pretended that we were movie stars
With my headscarf and a pair of shades
Took off my heels to run by the water's edge
The cold Pacific washing all my doubts away
Away
Away

Here we go, the story of nothing
You decided I wasn't worth loving anymore
But once, I was adored

Venice Beach, the scene of a murder
If not that, the scene of some other crime
Like wasting my time

Shield your eyes
The world's on fire

And if we'd been lovers on the movie screen
I would have found the magic words to make you stay
Held you while the rubble rained around our heads
And kissed you while the world burned away
Away
Away

In my bed, I lie still and think about
Where you are, and if I just concentrate
I can feel you in space

Palm trees filter the moonlight
I know that there's someone in your arms tonight
The world's on fire
The world's on fire
The world's on fire
