The Days of the Phoenix

I remember when I was told of story of crushed velvet, candle wax and dried up flowers The figure on the bed All dressed up in roses, calling, beckoning to sleep, offering a dream The words were as mystical as purring animals The circle of rage, the ghosts on the stage appeared The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go Ghost stories handed down reached secret tunnels below No one could see me Oh I fell into yesterday Oh Our dreams seemed not far away I want to, I want to, I want to stay Oh I fell into fantasy The words were as mystical as purring animals The circle of rage, the ghosts on the stage appeared The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go Ghost stories handed down reached secret tunnels below No one could see me Oh I fell into yesterday Oh Our dreams seemed not far away I want to, I want to, I want to stay Oh I fell into fantasy The girl on the wall always waited for me And she was always smiling The teenage death boys, the teenage death girls And everyone was dancing Nothing could touch us then, no one could change us then Everyone was dancing Nothing could hurt us then, no one could see us then Everyone was dancing Everyone was dancing No one could see me Oh I fell into yesterday Oh Our dreams seemed not far away I want to, I want to, I want to stay Oh I fell into fantasy Our dreams seemed not far away Our dreams seemed not far away Our dreams seemed not far away I fell into fantasy
