lyrics

She came from nowhere, she was nobody's daughter
Black eyes and raven hair, she fell and no one caught her
I saw her standing there, she pulled me under water
She said "You're only sheep, you're all just cannonfodder"

I belong to no one, I'll be nobody's thrall
But you could take me dancing then going to 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
She called herself a soldier in the war against death
"If you 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

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

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..."
