Phoenix
June 28, 2011
Phoenix is a song from our new album, “The Bird Is Coming Down To Earth”!
Lyrics:
you can ride with us anytime you want, we can journey to the end of the night
we can look for treasures of our own delight
you can crush it up any way you want, you can churn it into something new
in the misty morning I’ll be here with you
poverty’s the wise man’s gold
he throws his riches to the open road
there’s too many wheels turning round
kill the engine we’re slowing down
please be kind to my son
the phoenix flies like a comet above
and the poetry runs like an ocean of blood
oh my God!
fire and ashes: this whole town’s gonna bleed
the fever passes, but I’m still down on my knees
darling please
you can walk with me anytime you want cause there’s really no place to arrive
just enjoy the scenes and you’ll be doing fine
try to wipe the dust from your sister’s eyes but it always comes down to you
when you look inside you’ll see you’re broken too
