Sisters Of Mercy - Lucretia Lyrics
I hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenHot metal and methedrineI hear empire downI hear empire downI hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenLove lost, fire at willDum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hearDive, bombers, andEmpire downEmpire downI hear the sons of the city and dispossessedGet down, get undressedGet pretty but you and me,We got the kingdom, we got the keyWe got the empire, now as then,We dont doubt, we dont take direction,Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with meWe look hardWe look throughWe look hard to see for realSuch things I hear, they dont make senseI dont see much evidenceI dont feel. I dont feel. I dont feelA long train held up by page on pageA hard reign held up by rageOnce a railroadNow its done...I hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenHot metal and methedrineI hear empire down...We got the empire, now as then,We dont doubt, we dont take reflection,Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me...
