Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
Come on Holly put the gun down for me
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
They're tryin' to take it from us, they're tryin' to take it from us
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You're so pretty when you dress for the grave

Love me as you lay
Dizzy and falling your legs dangling
Although accidents happen, they happen to me
Try to forget the beginning and end

Forget the world without removing the glass from your lips
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
They're tryin' to take it from us, they're tryin' to take it from us
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
The sun's comin' up and we're still awake

Am I the trigger of your gun
Your pretty eyes don't give me much choice
But I'll take them home
I've done some thinkin' of my own
And when I come home
I want to be done, don't want to be famous no more

Leave that girl alone
My teenage heart-attack keeps talking back
Keeps talking back to her
And I can't pretend that off this balcony
We wouldn't want to jump off of it
And put an end to this
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
Doll up and sleep walk
Until we have some teeth marks
Narcotic sweet talk
Until we have some teeth marks
This whole place is gonna burn.

    Memory:altpress.com/… - get the one with ptv

    it has the TRUE meaning in it.

    I think it was something like he was sick of the two-faced/rude people in music business like artist, bands and label people.

    DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT BECAUSE I AM NOT ALL THAT SURE

    General Comment:Nevermind. I think the song is about Hollywood and it's parties, drugs, sex, and money. It's also about how Hollywood is like putting these things into teenage girls and boys heads.

    General Comment:I think the song is about a gold digger who is about to kill him for his money. He's tired of people using him so he's done being famous.

    You love money and the sex in your veins. - she likes $$$$$

    Come on Holly put the gun down for me. - looks like she's about to kill him.

    I want to be done, don't want to be famous no more. - like I said, he's done being famous.

    General Comment:i agree with everyone else, about the "hollywood scene" aka sex, beer, parties etc, but i also think it's kinda about underaged girls.

    "Leave that girl alone
    My teenage heart-attack keeps talking back
    Keeps talking back to her"

    General Comment:i agree, the song is probably about hollywood, and getting caught up in fame and everything that comes with it. pierce the veil is one of my favourite bands of all time.
