"Demolition Lovers" is a song by the American rock band My Chemical Romance from their debut studio album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (2002). The song, which serves as the album's closing track, is a six-minute long punk rock ballad that goes through several different movements throughout its runtime. Lyrically, the song tells the story of two lovers that go on a crime spree and ultimately meet their demise in a desert. The song's story has been tied to the premise of an earlier track on the album, "Drowning Lessons", and has also been connected to the premise of the band's next album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (2004).
The song was well received by critics. Some have considered it one of the best songs from I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, and others have deemed it one of the better songs in the band's discography as a whole. It is also considered representative of and a precursor to the more grand-scale, narrative-driven songs that the band would create in the future, and has been noted as a fan favorite.
