Make a wish on our sorry little hearts Have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark Fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark I'm intoxicated by the lie In the chill of your stare I am painfully lost Like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus For the thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust As you tell me we're nothing but trouble Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war Feels like war, war Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war Feels like war, war We go together or we don't go down at all We go together or we don't go down at all We go together or we don't go down at all, whoa Fail-safe trigger, lock down call Wipe the dry clean slate, quick, sound the alarm No escape from the truth and the weight of it all I am caught in the web of a lie And the bitch of it all is that I'm running from The desire of the people to whom I belong At the end of the day you can tell me I'm wrong 'Cause you went to all of this trouble Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war Feels like war, war Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war Feels like war, war We go together or we don't go down at all We go together or we don't go down at all We go together or we don't go down at all, whoa (Let's go) Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite It feels like war (it feels like war) Love feels like war (love feels like war) Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Feels like war, war Feels like war, war Heart's on fire tonight Feel my bones ignite Love feels like war, war Feels like war, war (One more time!) We go together or we don't go down at all We go together or we don't go down at all We go together or we don't go down at all (don't go down at all) Is this the end of us or just the means to start again
