Our Lady of the Campfire Lyrics

[Intro]
Tonight is her night

[Verse 1]
And the city holds its breath
Caught twixt life and death
As she rolls in from the suburbs
The garrison flees and the city will burn

[Chorus 1]
Corinna rides like Boadicea tonight
London town trembles at the sight
Because tonight is her night

[Verse 2]
And the youth course through the streets
To lay down at her feet
And she runs a regal eye
To choose who lives and decide who dies

[Chorus 2]
Corinna rides like Boadicea tonight
Fearful crowds part ways without a fight
Corinna rides like Boadicea tonight
London town trembles at the sight
Because tonight is her night

[Bridge]
She keeps her counsel
Smiles when she speaks now from ear to ear
She's getting married or so they tell me
When the spring is here
She hums a tune from
A song she knows from warm summers past
A song that was sung by
Kids around campfires in the quiet Southwest

[Chorus 1]
Corinna rides like Boadicea tonight
London town trembles at the sight
Because tonight is her night

[Outro]
Yeah, tonight is her night
Yeah, tonight is her night, tonight is her night
