lyrics

Watch me as I arise out of the flames
before your very eyes!
Kick dust off of my feet as I turn to meet
the miracle that’s me.
Life imitates art, but art imitates death,
and here I am in the middle.
A phoenix rising over the ash,
a knobby-kneed foal of a pistol.
And the murmur never bothered me, in fact,
I liked it better that way.
And they’ll give you gold up to your teeth
if you can push their own dark away.
So watch me as I arise out of the flames
before your very eyes!
Kick the dust off of my feet as I turn to meet
the miracle that’s me.
You know I’ve done this all before, another
time or two or more. The main event’s on
deck, get your ticket at the door,
what’re you waiting for?
It’s just the theatre of it all - not as impressive
if you stay. See, every man has his call, and I
think mine’s to beat my grave, oh yes, I do.
And well, the murmur never bothered me, in fact,
I liked it better that way.
And they’ll give you golf up to your teeth
if you can push their own dark away.
So watch me as I arise out of the flames
before your very eyes.
Kick the dust off of my feet as I turn to meet
the miracle that’s me.
You know I’ve done this all before,
another time and I won’t care.
I just let down my red hair and I
eat
the
men
like
air.
