I haven't been able to find lyrics, so I sounded them out the best that I could.

Enjoy!
C Dm
Nights at Armour Mansion
C F
The palace of the hills
C Dm
There were debut kinds of fashion
C A#
With notorious girls
C Dm
I saw your lady dancin'
C F
(She's soakin' liquor in her spine)
C Dm
And that fellow she's romancin'
C A#
He's a Gatsbian guy
[Prechorus]
C Dm
I know I told you I'd look after her*
F A#
But I've got these (girly tail-ends/curly feelins)? on my mind
C Dm
And yeah I'm acting rather radical
F A# A#add9** A#
C Dm***
But I'm living up the magic of the time
C Dm
So I'm (still stancing)? on the balcony
C F****
A fake drunk (and temporary amused)?
C Dm
And I can't get much higher than him, I can't get much higher than him
C A#
Without (a full slapping shoe)?
C Dm
Your lady is advancin'
C F
She speaks the wisdom of champagne
C Dm
She's says she's undesicive
C A#
And then takes a shot to her brain
[Chorus]x2
F A#
She says won't you take me when I let you take me away
I'll let you break me*****
Dm A#
And don't you waste me when I let you take me away
C
I'll let you take me, why don't you take me?
[Bridge riff]******
C Dm
Nights at Armour Mansion
C F
(Your flawed fashion leaves too high to wave)?
C Dm
She holds her love for ransom
C A#
When she knows that you'll pay
[Prechorus]
[Chorus]x2

* During this Dm, F, A# progression, the guitar is more noticeable than the piano, so I
try to play it.
I think he arpeggios the lower few strings, ending each beat with the first fret on the
little e string.
** I think A#add9 sounds good like this:
e|---1-----|
B|---1-----|
G|---3-----|
D|---3-----|
A|---1-----|
E|---------|
*** At this Dm, the piano seems to cut out (although just playing the chords still
sounds fine) and a guitar
starts an arpeggio until the chorus that goes like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------2-----2---------2-----2---------2-----2---------2-----2------------------------------|
D|--0-3---0-3---0-3-0-3---0-3---0-3---3---0-3---0-3-0-3---0-3---0-3--------------------------|
A|----------------------------------3--------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
^Repeat from here at each C until the one followed
by A# which does this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------2-----3---------3-----3--------------------------------------------------------------|
D|----3-----3-----3---3-----3-----3----------------------------------------------------------|
A|--3-----1-----1---1-----1-----1------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
****Sounds cool to do what the bass does at this F while holding the chord by doing a repeated
hammer on/pull off from 0 to 1 on big E string with your index finger
***** At this point I throw in another A#add9 to match what the guitar does in the background.
Sorry I didn't feel like tabbing the whole riff throughout the chorus. Unless someone
really wants me to:]]
