I hear the roar of the big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear your empire down I hear your empire down I hear the roar of the 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 sounds of the city and dispossessed Get down, get undressed Get rid of 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 the big machine Two worlds and in between Hot metal and methedrine I hear your 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
