[Verse 1]
In the neon glow of Los Angeles nights
Stealing sounds while the city ignites
Mariachi ghosts through my microphone
Dancing with death as we burn alone
Every street corner's got a story to tell
About paradise turning into hell
[Chorus]
La fiebre sube (The fever rises)
We're all gonna burn, burn, burn
No water left to learn, learn, learn
How to save ourselves from yesterday
While the palm trees sway, sway, sway
[Verse 2]
Carlos passed me that bottle of mescal
Said "hermano, we're watching it all fall"
Three AM philosophies in backroom bars
While outside the asphalt melts the cars
The city's sweating through concrete pores
And I can't take this heat anymore
[Bridge]
Distorted trumpets in my head
Playing requiems for the dead
Future's already been and gone
Still we keep dancing till dawn
[Chorus]
La fiebre sube (The fever rises)
We're all gonna burn, burn, burn
No water left to learn, learn, learn
How to save ourselves from yesterday
While the palm trees sway, sway, sway
[Verse 3]
Luna told me last night in tears
"We've got maybe ten more years"
I recorded the sound of her crying
Mixed it with sirens flying
This ain't no f*cking lullaby
Just the sound of our world saying goodbye
[Outro]
The heat warps everything I see
Melts identity into the streets
Mariachi memories fade away
As tomorrow burns into today
La fiebre sube, we dance alone
In this fever we call home
Watch it all turn into smoke
This beautiful f*cking joke
[Final Chorus]
La fiebre sube (The fever rises)
We're all gonna burn, burn, burn
No water left to learn, learn, learn
How to save ourselves from yesterday
While the palm trees sway, sway, sway
(While everything fades away)
