The Phoenix - Patchouli

Tommy doesn’t know the number

Tommy doesn’t know the number of times

he’s dreamt about the day dreamt about the day he’d leave here

but just like people say time can be the great deceiver

Tami doesn’t know her future

Tami doesn’t know her future lies in

Putting everyday — every single day behind her

Holding to the past just don’t make it last forever

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers

Keri doesn’t know her talent

Keri doesn’t know her talent has been

Tucked under the bed tucked under the bed in boxes

Once she finds the key She can finally unlock it

Baby you don’t know the secrets

Baby you don’t know the secrets you have

hidden in the room hidden in the room around you

deep inside your head the lives that you have lead will find you

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers

Dress it up

Tear it down

It’s history we’re making

Put your dancing shoes on

This town could use a painting

Build it up

Break it down

Need to do some rearranging

Strike a match light the pyre

Oh our worlds on fire our worlds on fire

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers

She’s writing again the Push of the pen The ink sinks right in

He’s painting again Colors he uses are true and genuine

She’s dancing again and laughing again

Come dancing again this town could use a painting

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers

Everybody knows this star been falling ever since they can remember

But have you seen the phoenix rise up from the embers
