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 impressed 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.
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get down, get impressed 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 We look hard We look through We look hard To see for real...
Things I hear they don't make sense I don't see much evidence I don't feel.
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get down, get impressed 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.
