Lyrics Flobots – Dancing In The Light Of A Burning City (Phoenixes)
Text:
Dancing in the light while the city still burns
Different kings still waiting for their turn
I never owned what I’ve never earned
But I know that I will with you
Dance in the fire light
Wonder what this side is like
Pour the oil on the rising flames
And wonder what dying’s like
I more like dionys
Coming back again
And I’m trying twice
Face the mic
Face the life
Now I’m just facing those flashing lights
Mm. like a flash-lights
More like a lightsaber
Don’t fear the father
Ain’t been a slave
Don’t fear no darth vader
Naw, I just mob daily
I’m up on my intercom baby
Calling out to the stars and in the darkest hour
Which one of y’all will be my savior
I’m on fire I’m okay
Dumpsters flame still flicker in the dead of night
Red and white
See the rust and embers charred and bleeding still bleeding
I can’t go home
Hear shots and bickerings ricochet
And dissipate
Okay
I am a sleeping giant
Deep inside I want peace and quiet
When unheard I may speak in riots
When unhinged the country’s on fire
When unquenched the thirst brings empires
To their knees and unspins the spires
Pillars fall when umpteen town criers
Become choirs unseat the sires
Sirens blare with unmet desires
Justice rolls down like muddy waters
I’m a mouthful of sea change
Make you rethink everything prior
I was born a young boy james laurie
Silver spoon on my tongue same story
You’d assume from what’s come before me
But not everything’s honkey dory
I’m on fire
Born of the ashes
Heir to the flame
Lit by the fire
We look the same
