Lucretia (Live)

Lucretia

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 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. 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 a big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear 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...
