Her mother said that she couldn't love The physical way a woman should Then where else could she go? Where the sisters and the fathers can`t save her soul
Send them in, see them on She can`t find a lover, she`ll fashion one Imaginary men Like the burned out poets in the hinterland
The phoenix says, The devil says, The serpent says, The siren says, Why use the word, when the word means the beast? Why use the word, when the word means the beast?
The hourglass sees what shelf life does She asked, exactly tell me "what is love but grieving life alone?" Just the words from prophets and religious shows
Imagine hurt, imagine tears She opened up until she disappeared Vanished, hand in hand, With all the long-lost children locked in Neverland
The phoenix says, The devil says, The serpent says, The siren says, Why use the word, when the word means the beast? Why use the word, when the word means the beast?
The phoenix says The devil says The serpent says The siren says
Oh, the pheonix says - Burn for me The Devil says - Lie for me The serpent says - Beg for me The siren says - Die for me
Oh, the pheonix says - Burn for me The Devil says - Lie for me The serpent says - Beg for me The siren says - Die for me
