Lyrics Rogue Empire - 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
And she said
«If this is my life
Don’t tell me how to live it
Won’t be a 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
