Lucretia My Reflection

I hear the roar of a big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear your empire down

I hear your empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine

Two worlds and in between

Long lost, fire at will

Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill

I hear dive bombers and empire down

Empire down

I hear the sounds 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, well they don't make sense

I don't see much evidence

I don't feel, I don't feel

But I don't feel

Oh, oh

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 the big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methedrine

I hear your 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
