Flobots - Dancing in the Light of a Burning City (Phoenixes) lyrics

[Flobots - Dancing in the Light of a Burning City Phoenixes lyrics]

Dance in the light while the city still burns
Different kings still waiting for our turn
I never owned what I never earned
And I know that I want to with you

Uh, dance in the fire light
I wonder what this side is like
Pour the oil on the rising flames
I wonder what dying's like, mm
I'm more like Dionys coming back again
And I'm trying twice
Face the mic, face the life
Now I'm just facing those flashing lights

Mm, like a flashlight more like a lightsaber
Don't fear the father ain't been a slave
Don't fear no Darth Vader, naw

I just mob daily i'm up on my intercom, baby
Calling out to the stars in the darkest hour
Which one of y'all will be my savior?



I'm on fire, I'm okay
I'm on fire, I'm okay, I'm okay
I'm on fire, I'm okay
I'm on fire, I'm okay, I'm okay

Dumpsters flame still flicker in
The dead of night red and white
See the rust and embers charred and bleeding
Still bleeding i can't go home
Hear shots and bickerings ricochet
An' dissipate
If I can't find anyone to believe in
I'm leaving now

Okay, I am a sleeping giant
Deep inside, I want peace and quiet
When unheard, I may speak in riots
When unhinged, the country's on fire
When unquenched, the thirst brings empires
To their knees and unspins the spires
Pillars fall when umpteen town criers
Become choirs, unseat the sires

Sirens blare with unmet desires
Justice rolls down like muddy waters
I'm a mouthful of sea change
Make you rethink everything prior

I was born a young boy - James Laurie
Silver spoon on my tongue, same story
You'd assume from what's come before me
But not everything's honkey dory i'm on fire

I'm on fire, I'm okay
I'm on fire, I'm okay, I'm okay
I'm on fire, I'm okay
I'm on fire, I'm okay, I'm okay

Born of the ashes heir to the flame
Lit by the fire we look the same

Born of the ashes heir to the flame
Lit by the fire we look the same

I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
I'm on fire (I'm okay, I'm okay)
