Butch Walker - The Phoenix lyrics

[Intro] Put on your war paint [Verse 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 die Silver Clouds with grey lining [Pre-Chorus] 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 alone 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 our 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 [Verse 2] 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 masks "You broke our spirit," says the note we pa** [Pre-Chorus] 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 alone 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 our 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 [Bridge] 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 our 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 [Outro] Put on your war paint
