Lyrics:

Just about the time
Your heart breaks like a wheel
Not in a straight line
But all in pieces
Some you'll leave behind
On a road you won't revise
No you won't
Revisit that dirty compromise

Now you only
Dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes

So look up up ahead city lights are dancing for you
Visit the aurora burning off the edges of the sky
Don't cry
Don't cry
That's all over now
That's all over now

Now you only
Dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes

Dry your wings in the sun
You have only begun to understand
When its time to move on
There is no one to hold your hand
So let go
Let go
Let go

Here the night is fine
Stars are sparks of steal
Chiseled in the minds of twilight
You tell me something real
Say don't try
Don't try
Just remember how
Remember
Remember

Now you only
Dream in peaceful blue
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
Baby the ashes just look pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes
Pretty on your eyes

On your eyes
On your eyes
On your eyes
My ex-girlfriend's cousin was horribly un-coordinated and by my diagnosis, profoundly socially retarded. She was taking tap dance lessons and one Thanksgiving decided to show us all her progress. My reaction was similar to what I felt listening to this song. Damn girl, either go get yourself some talent or stop emberrassing your sorry self.
These are some of the most artistic and heart-felt lyrics I've heard in years. It takes true talent to combine both without one overwhelming the other.
