Phoenix

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 die
 Seal the clouds with gray lining

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
 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 along to the beat of your heart

Hey young blood doesn’t it feel like our time is running out
 I’m going to change you like a remix
 Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
 Wearing all vintage misery
 No I think it looked a little better on me
 I’m going to 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
 She broke our spirits with no impact

So we can take the world back from a heart attack
 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 along to the beat of your heart

Hey young blood doesn’t it feel like our time is running out
 I’m going to change you like a remix
 Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
 Wearing all vintage misery
 No I think it looked a little better on me
 I’m going to 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

Hey young blood doesn’t it feel
 Like our time is running out
 I’m going to change you like a remix
 Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
 Wearing all vintage misery
 No I think it looked a little better on me
 I’m going to change you like a remix
 Then I’ll raise you like a phoenix
