The Phoenix Lyrics By Fall Out Boy

    put on your war paint

    you are a brick tied to me that’s dragging me down
    strike a match and i’ll burn you to the ground
    we are the jackolanterns in july
    setting fire to the sky
    here here comes this rising tide so come on
    put on your war paint
    cross walks and crossed hearts and hope to die
    silver clouds with grey linings

    pre
    so we can take the world back from the heartattacked
    one maniac at a time we will take it back
    you know time crawls on when you’re waiting for the song to start
    so dance alone to the beat of your heart

    hey young blood doesn’t it feel
    like our time is running out
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix
    wearing our vintage misery
    no i think it looked a little better on me
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix

    bring home the boys in scraps scrap metal the tanks
    get hitched make a career out of robbing banks
    because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
    you broke our spirit says the note we pass

    pre
    so we can take the world back from the heartattacked
    one maniac at a time we will take it back
    you know time crawls on when you’re waiting for the song to start
    so dance alone to the beat of your heart

    hey young blood doesn’t it feel
    like our time is running out
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix
    wearing our vintage misery
    no i think it looked a little better on me
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix

    break
    put on your war paint

    the war is won before it’s begun
    release the doves surrender love
    the war is won before it’s begun
    release the doves surrender love
    the war is won before it’s begun
    release the doves surrender love
    wave the white flag wave the white flag yeah
    the war is won before it’s begun
    wave the white flag wave the white flag yeah
    release the doves surrender love
    wave the white flag wave the white flag yeah

    hey young blood doesn’t it feel
    like our time is running out
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix
    wearing our vintage misery
    no i think it looked a little better on me
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix
    hey young blood doesn’t it feel
    like our time is running out
    i’m going to change you like a remix
    then i’ll raise you like a phoenix

    put on your war paint
