Lyrics

The Phoenix

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

(Put on your war paint)

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down

Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground

We are the jack-o-lanterns in July setting fire to the sky

Here, here comes this rising tide

So come on

(Put on your war paint)

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies

Silver clouds with grey lining

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time, we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Hey, young blood

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Bring home the boys in scraps, scrap metal the tanks

Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks

Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks

You broke our spirit, says the note we pass

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked

One maniac at a time we will take it back

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

Hey, young blood

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

(Put on your war paint)

The war is won

Before it's begun

Release the doves

Surrender love

The war is won

Before it's begun

Release the doves

Surrender love

The war is won

Before it's begun

Release the doves

Surrender love

The war is won (wave the white flag)

Before it's begun (wave the white flag)

Release the doves (wave the white flag)

Surrender love (wave the white flag)

Hey, young blood

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Wearing our vintage misery

No, I think it looked a little better on me

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Hey, young blood

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

(Put on your war paint)
