The Phoenix lyrics

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 grey 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

Chorus:

Hey! Youngblood 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

"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass

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

Chorus:

Hey! Youngblood 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.

The war is won before it’s begun

Release the doves surrender love.

The war is won before it’s begun

Release the doves surrender love.

The war is won before it’s begun

Release the doves surrender love.

Chorus:

Hey! Youngblood 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!

Hey! Youngblood 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!

Put on your war paint!
