lyrics

You will rise just like a phoenix from the forest all burned down.
You will rise just like Jesus with a holy, virgin crown.
And newly born, and newly loved, in holy water drowned,
I’ll build a house around you where you sleep there on the ground.

Well, the air here is freezing, but my hand’s still has its heat.
Grab it and I’ll take you to some expensive front-row seat.
We can watch the flowers growing out that gruesome ball of meat,
feel the sunshine rise again, and taste the dew so sweet

The water’s awful rough, but grab your swimming stuff.
The sky’s red with warning, but sleeping is boring,
and to see you again’s enough
to get up in the morning.

Babe, you’re mourning, mourning, mourning
beneath some dying light –
although the day may end, darling,
it just begins the night,
so GET UP!
