The Phoenix

(album: Pink Crustaceans And Good Vibrations - 2008)

Long was the time, long, long was the time again
Long was the time, long, long was the time again

Long was the time when they say the phoenix was calling
Even through the city and the rain I could hear she was falling
Found her in the coldest light of that early morning
I could see those cuts and bruises only told a little bit of the story

Can you see the history now?
Looked up like a secret in her father's house
Very military was his rationale
And he was the worst of the demons

Well, she went up and down
Dug herself deep into the underground
Looking for the sugar and the candy now
So she gave away all the feelings

The only problem was the phoenix did not care, no
She let me burn by her side 'cause she never ever cared
Oh woah, oh woah, my lady phoenix
Oh woah, oh woah

Long was the time, long, long was the time again
Long was the time, long, long was the time again

Lost myself on why you could never take advantage twice
She will always catch you in her vice when everything crashes
This is a warning for you, you should never test her anger
You could lose all you have in this world, yeah

Well, she'll go harder now
Dig herself deeper in the underground
Looking to replace her angry daddy now
'Cause that's just what burns at this phoenix

Oh woah, oh woah, my lady phoenix
Oh woah, oh woah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is just a warning
The only problem was the phoenix wasn't there
How could I tell with all the blood and the flames
You shouldn't tempt her if your loving wasn't there
She'll always rise from the ashes once again, once again, yeah

Oh woah, oh woah, my lady phoenix
Oh woah, oh woah

Long was the time, long, long was the time again
Long was the time, long, long was the time again
