Who knows how the fire got started?

A bunch of gurus in a darkened room

You can sell anything

If you massage the spin

All you need is a patsy to groom

Someone to do the talking

Ready and willing to crawl

The dinosaur’s wearing a brand new suit

And the stars are ready to fall

Check out his face on the billboard

Check out his sequins and bows

Well the gurus will watch every move that he makes

Just to see how the campaign grows

Seemed like battle worth fighting

Like a good idea at the time

The balloon went down

It was all over town

Someone had to swing for the crime

We’ll go down for the sin of believing

But we’ll rise for the last curtain call

We were under his spell singing Heartbreak Hotel

For the last patsy to fall

His knees will be broken by sunset

Still he giggled like a choir boy

The whistle was blown

The patsy got thrown

Now the chairman is crushing his toy

You could hear Beethoven roll over

There was too much smoke in the room

The gurus were there gasping for air

Stumbling around in the gloom

They said the risk was worth taking

So we’ll stand for the last curtain call

We were under his spell

Singing Heartbreak Hotel

For the last patsy to fall
