Lucretia my reflection
I hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenHot metal and methedrineI hear empire downI hear empire down
I hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenLove lost, fire at willDum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hearDive bombers, andEmpire downEmpire down
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessedGet down, get undressedGet prettty but you and meWe got the kingdom, we got the keyWe got the empire, now as thenWe don't doubt, we don't take directionLucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me...
We look hardWe look throughWe look hard to see for realSuch things I hear, they don't make senseI don't see much evidenceI don't feelI don't feelI don't feel
A long train held up by page on pageA hard reign held up by rageOnce a railroadNow it's done...
I hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenHot metal and methedrineI hear empire down...
We got the empire, now as thenWe don't doubt, we don't take reflectionLucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me
