I memorized the verses And the names of every road Then studying the history Saw how badly things can go I thought you saw it too I swear I learned it all from you But now our home is burning And you don't have a clue From a disappointed son To the city that he loves The flags you wave around Have got me wondering My Phoenix, my Phoenix If my Phoenix still shines If my Phoenix will rise If the vision of the Christ My family sees Is my blurry vision's Greatest enemy Then I still try to tune it in When I get lonely You know I chase around this desert Because I think that's where you'll be Whether high and lifted up Or dust becoming dust Somehow I'm still in love With My Phoenix, my Phoenix My Phoenix still shines My Phoenix will rise
