Phoenix

Time's not the villain, coming up behind you is a marigold sun Love if you're willing, take a little more time I smell fire, it's coming from the flames That are dancing on my wings I'm a bird on a wire killing time Fever's got me shaking, it rises up like a road to meet me Fever's got me quaking like San Andreas Fault Just put a cloth to my brow, I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes Put a pretty blanket down, I'm ready now Looking for forgiveness, looking in every cupboard in every room I'm bearing witness to the passing time But the clock is ticking like an old man singing at the top of his lungs And the light is flickering, we're running out Fever's got me shaking, it rises up like a road to meet me Fever's got me quaking like San Andreas Fault Just put a cloth to my brow, I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes Put a pretty blanket down, I'm ready now Everybody's looking for somebody to blame The stages of sadness how many can you name? I stopped at anger, never felt the same They say it'll fade my scars, my tears will dry I'll lie under the stars again, not wondering where you are Where you are Fever's got me shaking, it rises up like a road to meet me Fever's got me quaking like San Andreas Fault Just put a cloth to my brow, I'll soar like a phoenix from the ashes Put a pretty blanket down, I'm ready now I'm ready now, I'm ready now
