Lucretia My Reflection Lyrics

  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 ...
