| I hear the roar of a big machine
|
| Two worlds and in between
|
| Hot metal and methedrine
|
| I hear empire down
|
| I hear empire down
|
| I hear the roar of a big machine
|
| Two worlds and in between
|
| Love lost, fire at will
|
| Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill
|
| I hear Dive, bombers, and
|
| Empire down
|
| Empire down
|
| I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
|
| Get down, get undressed
|
| Get pretty but you and me
|
| We got the kingdom, we got the key
|
| We got the empire, now as then
|
| We don’t doubt, we don’t take direction
|
| Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me
|
| We look hard
|
| We look through
|
| We look hard to see for real
|
| Such things I hear, they don’t make sense
|
| I don’t see much evidence
|
| I don’t feel
|
| I don’t feel
|
| I don’t feel
|
| A long train held up by page on page
|
| A hard reign held up by rage
|
| Once a railroad
|
| Now it’s done…
|
| I hear the roar of a big machine
|
| Two worlds and in between
|
| Hot metal and methedrine
|
| I hear empire down…
|
| We got the empire, now as then
|
| We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection
|
| Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me… |
