Lucretia My Reflection

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
We 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...

[Verse 2]
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
I hear empire down

[Chorus]
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
We 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...

[Post-Chorus]
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 anymore

[Chorus]
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
We 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...

[Post-Chorus]
We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel
I don't feel
I don't feel anymore

[Outro]
A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad, now it's done...
The empire has begun
