End of The Empire I-III

One last dance

Here at the end of the empire

Makes me cry

Watchin' the moon on the ocean

Where California used to be

It's not half bad, uh-oh

Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa

Don't be scared, uh-oh

Just chronically impaired, uh-oh

Just take my hand, uh-oh

Standin' at the end of

The American Empire

One last song

Here at the end of the movie

They seemed so sure

At least, that's the way I remember

The war

What New York used to be

It's not half bad, no

Spend half your life being sad, whoa

Don't you weep, uh-oh

Half your life, fast asleep, uh-oh

Feelin' uninspired, uh-oh

Standin' at the end of

The American Empire

And we know that it's time to go

Heard the news on the radio

One last round before we go

Through the pale, atmospheric glow

And the oxygen's getting low

Sing a song that we used to know

One last round before we go

One last round before we go

So sad

Didn't use to get high

Didn't use to drink, and I

Didn't use to think I

Could ever dream about losin' you

Didn't use to get low

This time of night, and I

Didn't use to walk home

In the mornin' light without you

Without you

Didn't use to get high

Didn't use to drink

Didn't use to think I

Could ever dream about losin' you

You, but I do

It's you and I

It's do or die

Suicide mission

Baby, by my side

We got one life and half of it's gone

You know, I can't sleep with the television on

Didn't use to get high

With you by my side

Leave the light on
