lyrics

Watch me as I arise
into 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

The murmur never bothered me, infact I liked it better that way
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 dust off of my feet as I turn to meet the miracle that's me
You know I've done this all before,
about a time or two or more
The main event's on deck, get your tickets at the door
What 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
They'll give you gold up to your teeth if you can push their own dark away

So watch me as I arise into the flames before your very eyes
Kick 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.
