I remember when I was told the 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.
(Ohhhhhhhhhhhh) I fell into yesterday. (Ohhhhh) Our dreams seemed not far away I want to, I want to, I want to stay! (Ohhhhhhhhhhhh) I fell into fantasy!

(Backround Oh′s) 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, And everyone was dancing, Everyone was dancing.
No one could see me....
(ooooh) I fell into yesterday (ooooh) our dreams seemed not far away I want to, I want to, I want to stay (ooooh) I fell into fantasy
Our dreams seemed not far away... Our dreams seemed not far away, hey.... Our dreams seemed not far away.... I fell into fantasy
Gracefully she′s circling higher. She has the wind beneath her wings And looks down on us She said: "Robbed of my innocence, had no more time to play. I sure got my feathers burned, but I′m stronger than the flames."
Here she comes, here she comes. I′ve been waiting for so long. Here she comes Rose again from the flames My little Phoenix Eternity is set in her eyes Throwing sparks back at the world that′ll never die. And I think: "She has robbed of her innocence, had no moro time to play. She′s only a little girl, but she stronger than the flames"
Here she comes, here she comes. I′ve been waiting for so long. Here she comes Rose again from the flames My little Phoenix
You′ve got to get close to the flame to see What it′s made of You′ve got to get close to the flame to see what you are made of.
Here she comes, here she comes. I′ve been waiting for so long. Here she comes Rose again from the flames My little Phoenix
Early Morning Waking up my blinds are shut the light is shining through fills up my room
Living on the Radio, Making mixtapes in the backyard by the pool Thought we were so cool
Now I′m getting older still my memory holds on to you Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it Rains, Cause I can′t leave here knowing all of my favorite things have changed
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it rains Cause when teh sun is shining you know it feels like home
Driving through the Superstition mountains listening to our favorite tunes on Sunday afternoon
Mom yells out in the street it′s time to eat, it′s time to come on home, the sun is sinkin′ low,
Now I′m getting older still my memory holds on to you Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it Rains, Cause I can′t leave here knowing all of my favorite things have changed
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it rains Cause when the sun is shining you know it feels like home
I′ve been living far away and I′ve come home on a Rainy day No it′s not the same but I′ll take it anyway!
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it Rains, Cause I can′t leave here knowing all of my favorite things have changed
Oh, let the light shine down on Phoenix when it rains Cause when the sun is shining you know it feels like home
