lyrics

Rising like a sun or like a phoenix
Rising like a slow smoke from a gun
I always thought you’d be there when I needed
But boy how I was wrong
I’ll never put my finger on it now

The city streets are lined with carbon cancer
There’s another virus spreading from the coast
And everywhere I look looks like disaster
I tried my best to cope
But I’m on the edge and hanging by a rope

Now I’m driving down to Phoenix
I’m gonna let it go
Am I headed for the helix or for the host?
Will I ever know?

Junebug, let’s go dancing on the river
Junebug, I will fly you by a string
The tide is rising high, and the moon’s a sliver
But that don’t mean a thing
Cause in your arms I feel just like a king

Why don’t you come on over, Angelina?
Why don’t we have fun on Mardi Gras?
I’m on my hind legs, I’m ready to receive ya
I’m begging to the gods,
I never thought that I could be so lost…

But now I’m starting to believe it
I gotta let it go
Am I headed for the helix or for the host?
Lord, will I ever know?

Tell me: Will I love, will I love, will I love, love anything I do?
If you do it true. If I do it for you?
You will love, you will love, you will love, love everything you do
If I do it true? If you do it for love.
