Get down, get undressed
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
We got the empire, now as then
We get pretty but you and me
Such things I hear, they don't make sense
We got the empire, now as then
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me
Once a railroad now it's done
I hear the roar of a big machine
Hot metal and methedrine
We got the empire, now as then
Get down, get undressed
We get pretty but you and me
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
I hear empire down
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We get pretty but you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
I hear the empire down
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Dive, bombers and empire down
I don't feel, I don't feel, I don't feel
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me
A long train held up by page on page
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me
A hard reign held up by rage
Get down, get undressed
We look hard to see for real
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
I hear the empire down
Two worlds and in between
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
We look hard, we look through
I don't see much evidence
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
Love lost, fire at will
We got the kingdom, we got the key
