Sam Roberts Band - Rogue Empire

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

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 for 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
