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... |
