The last of the bombs went off Los Angeles is nothing but some rubble and dust and The oceans drying up The fire from the dying buildings reflects on her body I overheard The money's tight and your lover's bored I never learned The love may be dead but the baby's born Always leaving, I hate being left This home's a cage with a chain to the bed You cut me out before I got the chance To cut you first, now I need you again Oh, baby, look what you've started The city is burning Don't they know the world is ending The second you left me Why have the waves kept on crashing? I can't understand, how could you do this to me? I'm losing my hold This house feels emptier with you home I don't wanna know I bet the feeling is mutual Always leaving, I hate being left This home's a cage with a chain to the bed You cut me out before I got the chance To cut you first, now I need you again Oh, baby, look what you've started The city is burning Don't they know the world is ending The second you left me Why have the waves kept on crashing? I can't understand, how could you do this to me? Oh, and I'm yet to figure out Why you put me down? Oh, and you're burning down this house Just to piss me off Why even stay? Your mind ain't changin', oh Why should I stay? Your mind ain't changing Oh, baby, look what you've started The city is burning Don't they know the world is ending The second you left me Why have the waves kept on crashing? I can't understand, how could you do this to me?
