The Gaslight Anthem
Antonia Jane
Did you ever come close to home?
Riding the tide of the silver line
Maybe dress them up in ribbon and golds
Never fall back into the one you love
Pick-pocket lady with her mind on you
She'll break a million hearts until she makes it through
But I declare a war on you
Someday soon
Hiding beneath the border skies
Lead down ditches on the side of the road
Be careful you don't look too close
Lazyhead lions, you'll get fed to the wolves
So rally up the soldiers, there's a war to win
If hearts can't be united, I can't let them win
But I would give it all to you
Someday soon
Bury all the silver and gold
Lead down ditches on the side of the road
Bury all the silver and gold
We can walk to the top and look down at it all
What happens when the feeling's gone?
It's a love angel with the wings cut off
So the parents tell the children, "That's no way to live"
So we capture what we're after, leave of the rest of them
Antonia Jane will rise again
Did you ever feel close to home?
Riding the tide of the silver line
Maybe dress them up in ribbons and golds
And never fall back into the one you love
Antonia Jane will rise again
