The Phoenix Lyrics - Pink Crustaceans And Good Vibrations - Pepper

Long was the time, long, long was the time again 

Long was the time, long, long was the time again 

Long was the time when they say the phoenix was calling 

Even through the city and the rain I could hear she was falling 

Found her in the coldest light of that early morning 

I could see those cuts and bruises only told a little bit of the story 

Can you see the history now? 

Looked up like a secret in her father's house 

Very military was his rationale 

And he was the worst of the demons 

Well, she went up and down 

Dug herself deep into the underground 

Looking for the sugar and the candy now 

So she gave away all the feelings 

The only problem was the phoenix did not care, no 

She let me burn by her side 'cause she never ever cared 

Oh woah, oh woah, my lady phoenix 

Oh woah, oh woah 

Long was the time, long, long was the time again 

Long was the time, long, long was the time again 

Lost myself on why you could never take advantage twice 

She will always catch you in her vice when everything crashes 

This is a warning for you, you should never test her anger 

You could lose all you have in this world, yeah 

Well, she'll go harder now 

Dig herself deeper in the underground 

Looking to replace her angry daddy now 

'Cause that's just what burns at this phoenix 

Oh woah, oh woah, my lady phoenix 

Oh woah, oh woah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

This is just a warning 

The only problem was the phoenix wasn't there 

How could I tell with all the blood and the flames 

You shouldn't tempt her if your loving wasn't there 

She'll always rise from the ashes once again, once again, yeah 

Oh woah, oh woah, my lady phoenix 

Oh woah, oh woah 

Long was the time, long, long was the time again 

Long was the time, long, long was the time again
