The Phoenix

Put on your war paint

1. 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-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings.

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
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 young blood
Doesn't it feel
Like our time is running out
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
You're wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix.

2. Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched and make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and
We are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit," says the note we pass.

So we can take the world back from the heart-attacked
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]

Put on your war paint.

[Bridge:]
The war is won
Before it's begun
Release the doves
Surrender love. [x4]

(Wave the white flag!)

[Chorus]

Put on your war paint.
