Phoenix Lyrics by The Jane Austen Argument

Somewhere Under the Rainbow

2012

I need to find a little solitude, my love
In which to catch alight my breath
I need to build a little fire in my heart
Which will spit and spark ‘til my death
So I can unfurl the pretty flames that have my arms
Which I will raise up to the sky with a twisted smile
And I will sing "Glory be" and inside whisper "Help me please"
And shout out, "Love, love, love" for eternity
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
So I may build this birthing pyre
He says I have the soul of the sun
But I’ve yet to ignite it (I’ve yet to invite it)
And she says I’m not around anymore
But she still tastes the smoke on my tongue
But I will unfurl the pretty flames that have my legs
And waltz away my flesh and feathers, and I will cry tears of glee
And I will beg you to save me
But I’ll be flying, flying, flying
It’s mythical policy
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
So I may build this birthing pyre
Oh, and just give me a thousand years, my love
I’ll meet you by the ashes
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
Oh, bring me my sticks and spices
So I may build this birthing pyre
Oh, what have I become?
And where is my mother?
