Napoleon

Napoleon applies lipstick color of a city on fire
Alone with her lieutenants she attacks the night by subway ride
Clacking heels drown out the sound-a night gone on thirty years long
Thousands of wounded hearts bleed before the fighting starts

Out of hiding men come surrendering disposable income
Forcibly sent to bed-love and war running their heads
You know it's just a game you play it very well
You want to lose it now that I can see
If you would get close I could let you know-what you don't own will set you free

Breaking promises torturing friends-burning shit down for the hell of it
Chewing lips, planning again; in the distance is where the future lives
Circling the block at 3 am-fixing the breaks in her story
Reading it over again doesn't change the ending

Notes sing out a forgotten song Napoleon lets her guard down
Surrounded in a crowded bar I take her as she throws down her arms
