[Intro]

[Verse A]
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
[Verse A]
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
[Verse B]
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
[Instrumental]

[Verse B]
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
[Instrumental]

[Verse B]
A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it s done
[Verse A]
I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine-- I hear empire--
Down
[Verse B]
We got the empire, now as then
We don t doubt, we don t take reflection
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me
