Lyrics
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 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
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
But I don't feel
