I hear the roar of a big machine

Two worlds and in between

Hot metal and methadrine

I hear empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed

Get down, get impressed, 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

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

We look hard, we look through

We look hard to see for real

These things I hear they don't make sense

I don't see much evidence, I don't feel
