I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
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
We look hard
We look through
We look hard
To see for real...
These things I hear they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel
