Sam Roberts Band Rogue Empire song lyrics

She came from nowhere

She was nobody's daughter

Black eyes and raven hair, she fell but no one caught her

I saw her standing there, she pulled me under water

She says you're only sheep, you're all just cannon fodder

She said I belong to no one, I'll be nobody's thrall

But you could take me dancing then we're gonna take Montreal

Even now I can hear her say

There's only one winner in the games we play

Hey now girl is your head on fire?

Is there room for another in your rogue empire?

Forgive me baby if I steal a kiss

What else could I do on a night like this?

Out on the corner we'll be shaking our fists at the world

Everything I told her, she said was wasted breath

Called herself a soldier in the war against death

"If you'd like to get older, boy you should watch your step

I'll hold you to the fire I'll put your love to the test"

Even now I can hear her say

There's only one winner in the games we play

Hey now girl is your head on fire?

Is there room for another in your rogue empire?

Forgive me baby if I steal a kiss

What else could I do on a night like this?

Out on the corner we'll be shaking our fists at the world

Now every night I go out walking alone

I'm trying to find her, she doesn't carry a phone

She says I'm blinded and that my heart's in a coma

And I'm reminded that there's no winning her over to any side

And she said - If this is my life, don't tell me how to live it

Won't be no trophy wife I'll take as much as I can give it

Now you're a soldier, so you can have this kiss

But I shoot from the heart, I tell you boy I never miss

Even now I can hear her say

There's only one winner in the games we play…

Hey now girl is your head on fire?

Is there room for another in your rogue empire?

Forgive me baby if I steal a kiss

What else could I do on a night like this?

Out on the corner we'll be shaking our fists at the world

Even now I can hear her say

There's only one winner in the games we play

Even now I can hear her say

There's only one winner in the games we play
