If Napoleon were here, he’d want to fight me.
Shakespeare’s pen would try to out-write me.
But lucky, they’re dead so they can’t do much for you.

The way that we’d meet – the metropolitan center
The snow covered streets – I’d dare you to enter
A better scene on any movie screen

Oh Helen of Troy, I’d start a war for you.
And Cleopatra, I’d burn Rome down too.

When I’d stutter my speech, I’d try to fill in
A story or line that I stole from Dylan, but
Quickly I’d see that he don’t impress you.

Your black cocktail dress, the silent reminder
Of blue reflected in silver eyeliner
The jealous sighs as I left the room with you

Oh Helen of Troy, I’d start a war for you.
And Cleopatra, I’d burn Rome down too.

And everyone wants you, you see
But they don’t love you like me – no

At the gates of hell, they tried to indict me
The fourth of July, they tried to ignite me
But I’d never burn brighter than you

Oh Helen of Troy, I’d start a war for you.
And Cleopatra, I’d burn Rome down too.

As I ran through the hills with your name on my breath
With a melody line I’d not soon forget
I asked myself was it good enough for you?
