The Gaslight Anthem Lyrics
"Antonia Jane"

Did you ever come close to home?
Riding the tide of the silver line
Maybe dress them up in ribbons 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 'neath the border skies
Laid down in 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 alarmed, I can't let them in
But I would give it all for you
Someday soon

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
Some parents tell their children, "That's no way to live"
So we capture what we're after, leave the rest up to them
Antonia Jane will rise again
