Armada

(Album: The Ballroom Thieves - 2013)

I need a woman just to keep me honest
She needs a man just to hold her hair back
She said, "Darling, don't you leave me,
Don't you walk out that door"
I can't remember what I made it over here for

She said, "Don't you have a knife in your chest
Right where all the love has left?"

A glass of bourbon and a ten went on the sixth horse
Yeah, strangling a ticket like I'm trying to get away with it
She said, "I'm nobody here but I'm an idol in my hometown,
If only I could get myself to live this disappointment down"

She said, "Don't you have a knife in your chest
Right where all the love has left?"

Send in the armada
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn, yeah

Send in the armada
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn, yeah

You need a lover just to keep you quiet
Yeah, lonely while you're waiting on your Valkyries
So sharpen all your teeth, we've got some ground to take
Yeah, this night is all we want
So let's make moves here while she's still awake

She said, "Don't you have a knife in your chest
Right where all the love has left?"

Send in the armada
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn, yeah

Send in the armada

And we're not coming home
No, we're not coming home

Now send in the armada
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn
We've got bars to burn, yeah

Leaving it all up to me
She said, "Do you have it in you
To slowly break me? I am waiting"

Leaving it all up to me
She said, "Do you have it in you
To slowly break me? I am waiting"

We're not coming home
