Lyrics End of the Empire - Sam Roberts
Witness
the
end
of
the
empire,
the
Romans
of
our
time
Start
little
fires
then
they
get
too
high
You
fan
the
flames
and
they
still
remain
Long
after
you
lose
desire
Then
a
breakdown
turns
to
a
heart
attack
And
it′s
far
too
late,
you'll
never
bring
it
back
You
can
take
what
you
want
from
me
But
you
better
believe
that
I
can
see
you
Watch
the
sun
set
on
the
empire
One
last
round
as
it
goes
down
Start
a
little
fire
in
your
best
attire
You
can
blame
the
gin
for
the
mess
you′re
in
Take
a
pension
and
retire
Then
a
breakdown
turns
to
a
heart
attack
And
it's
far
too
late,
you'll
never
bring
it
back
You
can
take
what
you
want
from
me
But
you
better
believe
that
I
can
see
you
You
can
run
but
you
can′t
hide
From
that
feeling
buried
deep
inside
Let′s
forget
if
only
for
tonight
Hold
your
lover
and
your
secrets
tight
We're
all
wasted
You
know
the
end,
I
can
taste
it
I′m
walking
away
this
time
I'm
leaving
it
all
behind
Breakdown
turns
into
a
heart
attack
And
it′s
far
too
late,
you'll
never
bring
it
back
You
can
take
what
you
want
from
me
But
you
better
believe
that
I
can
see
you
Stick
to
the
facts
′cause
the
facts
don't
lie
Stick
to
your
guns
when
the
bullets
fly
Stick
to
the
wall
when
the
light
sweeps
by
Stick
in
the
mud
over
one
in
the
eye
One
part
breaks
it
was
made
defective
The
wheel
don't
turn
′cause
it′s
all
connected
Six
feet
down
being
resurrected
Heart
says
yes
but
your
body
rejects
it
You
can
take
what
you
want
from
me
But
you
better
believe
that
I
can
see
you
You
can
take
what
you
want
from
me
But
you
better
believe
that
I
can
see
you
You
can
run
but
you
can't
hide
From
that
feeling
buried
deep
inside
Let′s
forget
if
only
for
tonight
Hold
your
lover
and
your
secrets
tight
We're
all
wasted
You
know
the
end,
I
can
taste
it
I′m
walking
away
this
time
I'm
leaving
it
all
behind
I′m
walking
away
this
time
I'm
leaving
it
all
behind
