Lyrics

Phoenix
I've been sitting here writing the words to this song
Your dog stumbles up, sniffing my crotch for fun
Blaming myself for your personality freeze
It's so hot your logic creates a breeze
You're where you belong, hot as the sun, Phoenix

You try so hard to keep that golden tan
Dust or sun, you get it while you can
Sheriff Joe keeps the valley safe
Too bad it's such a miserable place
Does that ring a bell; it's hotter than hell, Phoenix?

Dust cloud's building in the sky
Temperatures rising in Buckeye
Skin cancer on the rise
The boiling desert is where you'll fry...

The sun will set, you come out at night
A reptile-skinned punk rock pierced delight
Grab a fan, hit the underground
The only place where you can clown around
Dug you a hole, in a dustbowl, Phoenix
Your water is brown, and so is the town, Phoenix
God made it hard to grow a yard
Admitting the truth, now was that so hard? Phoenix
