Текст песни Empire Blues - Madrugada

Dope fiends in the hallway
They got a better deal
Than she and I
He thinks to himself as he runs the cold water
In the master suite
"Hell no, this is paradise"

You got your empire now
You got your empire now

But there was a time
When she'd love him differently
When they were on a mattress
In an empty room

He said, "What's mine is yours
No, you won't be lacking anything
And when we get to the top
Then it's your empire too"

It's your empire blues
It's your empire blues

You have no place at all
In this life that you have made
You have no place at all
It's just you and your empire blues
It's your empire blues

Pockets filled to the brim
Fortunes built on suffering
String 'em up and hang 'em high
Bleed all the neighborhood's dry at the top

And it's your empire blues
It's your empire blues
It's your empire blues

You have no place at all
In this life that you have made
You have no place at all
It's just you and your empire blues

Shots ring out in the morning
He's looking out over the hedge line and the pool
His coffee cup cracks on the floor tiles
She takes a look at the scene
And bangs the hell out of the room

You have no place at all
In this life that you have made
You have no place at all
In this life that you have made
You have no place at all
It's just you and your empire blues

It's your empire blues
It's your empire blues
It's your empire blues
Living in the empire now
It's your empire blues
Living in the empire now
It's your empire blues
Oh-oh-oh

Aha... nothing holds back here
What are you expecting?
For the hell of it
