Lucretia My Reflection

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methadrine
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
