Phoenixes

[Verse 1]

The phoenixes headed west

Cross country nebraska, nevada

The phoenix has to leave its nest but

Change is good for some

It is not good for others

[Verse 2]

First there were five, then there four

Leaf, he changed his colours, that's for sure

River was your favourite

His eyes were aqua

He's in our history now

Like Cleopatra

And you...

[Pre-Chorus]

My screen grab beauty queen

Typing something out in green

[Chorus]

Like we were seventeen...

[Verse 3]

When we first met we read bliss

Soon we were too old for this

We though that weight loss was survival

We thought that vogue was french for bible

Up on the wall

We put them all

Leaf, he changed his colours, that's for sure

River was your favourite

His eyes were aqua

He's in our history now

Like Cleopatra

And you...

[Pre-Chorus]

My screen grab beauty queen

Typing something on the screen

[Chorus]

Like we were seventeen...

River, rain, summer, leaf and liberty...

[Pre-Chorus]

And you

My screen grab beauty queen

Are you working out your next life dream?

[Chorus]

Like we were seventeen...
