Journey

Journey is an American rock band formed in 1973 in San Francisco by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987, after which it temporarily disbanded. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981's "Don't Stop Believin'", which became in 2009 the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band's eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, "Open Arms".

Jimmy wanted her the moment that she stumbled his way 
With a cocktail in her hand, she knew how she'd win the game 
There were beautiful in all the right places 
She keeps her rendezvous with soup opera faces 
She started rumors that were driving him crazy 
He couldn't stop the things they'd say 

And they live for, passion, love and pain 
In a rage of jealousy and fame 
And they watch their dreams go up on flames 

Castles burning... in the dead of night 
Castles burning... in the dead of night 
Wo... burnin'... 

In the kingdom of pretenders love is not what it seems 
Jimmy cried and then he punished her 
No one heard her scream 
On the outside, it's all crimson and clover 
On the inside, they know it's over 

And the band of lawyers that steal the show 
As they watch their world go up in smoke 

Castles burning... in the dead of night 
Castles burning... in the dead of night 
Wo... burnin'... burnin'... burnin'... burnin'... 

When we return a story of a 5 alarm fire 
Late last night in the prestigious Hollywood hills 
Where one of the most controversial marriages in the 
Entertainment industry went up in smoke, arson is suspected 
It is still under investigation... 

You know I love you, you know you're my girl, 
I'd never hurt you... no 

Castles burning... in the dead of night 
Castles burning... in the dead of night 
Burnin'... burnin' 

All is fair in love and war, but war is hell... 
In the heart of the night, in the middle of the big bad city
