Phoenix

Scorching the blacktop Bringing up eyes To the road stop Way out ahead Reach it at sundown Looking at all Of the midtown Get out of bed And the forests flow I just wanted to know Why we threw up And the hillsides shine They used to be mine But I grew up And I wanted to know How the garden would grow But I flew up And the city burned The pages turned As it blew up Coming up May Street Driving alone In the same heat As many years ago Chasing a past dream Hope against hope That the feeling Will be like home The forests flow I just wanted to know Why we threw up And those hillsides shine They used to be mine But I grew up And I wanted to know How the garden would grow But I flew up And the city burned The pages turned As it blew up And the rivers flow I just wanted to know Why we gave up And those hillsides shine They used to be mine 'Til we all grew up I wanted to know How the garden would grow But I flew away And the city burned The pages turned As it blew away The city burned The pages turned As it blew away
