Yeah we got drunk on La Cienega Boulevard Taking pictures of people we thought were stars It’s easy to give in to your heart When you’re drunk on La Cienega Boulevard When the song comin' out of the speakers Was the band that you had on your t-shirt We were screamin' cause all the streets were empty And you kissed me, and we were Up all night and we were feelin' so good Yeah, we got a little higher than we probably should We were in a hotel singin' in the hallway lights We were strikin' the matches right down to the ashes Setting the world on fire, setting the world on fire Wrote I love you in lipstick on the mirror We were shoutin' out the window, like they could hear us at the pier Said "Do you think we’ll live forever?" As we killed another beer And you wrote I love you in lipstick on the mirror We were laughin' until we were breathless Never felt anything so reckless, we were all lit up and restless And coming alive and we were Up all night and we were feelin' so good Yeah, we got a little higher than we probably should We were in a hotel singin' in the hallway lights We were strikin' the matches right down to the ashes Setting the world on fire, setting the world on fire (Oh, yeah, yeah) Up all night and we were feelin' so good Yeah, we got a little higher than we probably should We were in a hotel singin' in the hallway lights We were strikin' the matches right down to the ashes Setting the world on fire, setting the world on fire World all on fire We were setting The world all on fire We were setting The world all on fire World all on fire
