Emmy The Great - Phoenixes lyrics

The Phoenixes headed west, cross country Nebraska, Nevada The phoenix has to leave its nest but Change is good for some It is not good for others First there were five, then there four Leaf, he changed his colours, that's for sure River was your favourite His eyes were aqua He's in our history now Like Cleopatra And you My screen grab beauty queen Typing something out in green Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen When we first met we read Bliss Soon we were too old for this We though that weight loss was survival We thought that Vogue was French for Bible Up on the wall We put them all Leaf, he changed his colours, that's for sure River was your favourite His eyes were aqua He's in our history now Like Cleopatra And you My screen grab beauty queen Typing something on the screen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen River, Rain, Summer, Leaf and Liberty River, Rain, Summer, Leaf and Liberty River, Rain, Summer, Leaf and Liberty River, Rain, Summer, Leaf and Liberty And you My screen grab beauty queen Are you working out your next life dream? Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen Like we were seventeen
