Behind the Armory

Neko Case

Flies in amber, sand in soap
Air trapped in the glass
Tongue-tied, I cut and run
Fleeing ever fasterBehind the armory
I will never let you see
Behind the armory
Still, I want you to love meSleeping giant Joan of Arc
Fold me in your grace
From the garbage to the stars
Make new constellationsBehind the armory
Still, I want you to love me
Still, I want you to love meThrough the vines and the street
Slants the light and the heat
As narrow as the archer's window grows
But it's a rare stone
In a century's thrown to meThrough the vines from the street
Slants the light and the heat
As narrow as the archer's window growsBehind the armory
I will never let you see
Behind the armory
Still, I want you to love me
Still, I want you to love me
