Her mother said that she couldn't love    The physical way a woman should    Then where else could she go?    Where the sisters and the fathers can’t save her soul       Send them in, see them on    She can’t find a lover, she’ll fashion one    Imaginary men    Like the burned out poets in the hinterland       The phoenix says,    The devil says,    The serpent says,    The siren says,    Why use the word, when the word means the beast?   Why use the word, when the word means the beast?      The hourglass sees what shelf life does    She asked, exactly tell me   "what is love but grieving life alone?"   Just the words from prophets and religious shows       Imagine hurt, imagine tears    She opened up until she disappeared    Vanished, hand in hand,    With all the long-lost children locked in Neverland       The phoenix says,    The devil says,    The serpent says,    The siren says,    Why use the word, when the word means the beast?   Why use the word, when the word means the beast?      The phoenix says   The devil says   The serpent says   The siren says      Oh, the pheonix says   - Burn for me   The Devil says   - Lie for me   The serpent says   - Beg for me   The siren says   - Die for me      Oh, the pheonix says   - Burn for me   The Devil says   - Lie for me   The serpent says   - Beg for me   The siren says   - Die for me
