[Intro - ambient, whispered] Out past the playa, past the pines Same dust that buried Cielo Drive Two fires lit by different hands One flag, one family, one desert land [Verse 1] Neon temple, dashboard sun They call it freedom, call it "the one" Circle up now, hold the hand Helter skelter, dressed in tan He said you're safe here, drop the name Same old sermon, brand new flame Sixty-nine ghosts in the modern glow We built a cult and we didn't know [Pre-Chorus] Is it love, or is it lock? Is it dawn, or the same old clock? [Chorus] Burn it down, burn it true Ranch and rave, me and you Gaslight glowing violet-blue Same old family, something new [Verse 2] Rhodes keys melting in the heat Strangers swaying, losing feet He's the shepherd, she's the sky Nobody asking who, or why The manual says let go of me But the hand that guides plants the seed Every prophet wears the dust Every desert breaks the trust [Chorus] Burn it down, burn it true Ranch and rave, me and you Gaslight glowing violet-blue Same old family, something new [Breakdown - whispered, near silence] Shhh, nobody's watching Shhh, nobody's leaving Just the sound of the sand Just the shape of his hand [Final Chorus - explosive, layered] Burn it down, burn it true Ranch and rave, me and you Gaslight glowing violet-blue Same old family, something new [Outro - instrumental guitar solo, no lyrics]
