Lucretia My Reflection (The Sisters Of Mercy) Lyrics

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear a empire down
I hear a empire downI 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, and empire downI 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 keyWe got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
Lucretia, my reflection
Dance the ghost with meWe 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, like I don't feelA long, long, long, long train
A long, long, long, long trainA long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad, now it's doneI hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear a empire downWe got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection
Lucretia, my direction
Dance the ghost with meLucretia, my direction
Lucretia, my direction
Lucretia, my direction
Lucretia, my direction
Lucretia, my direction
