Paroles de End Of The Empire I-III

One last dance
Here at the end of the empire
Makes me cry
Watchin' the moon on the ocean
Where California used to be
It's not half bad, uh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Don't be scared, uh-oh
Just chronically impaired, uh-oh
Just take my hand, uh-oh
Standin' at the end of
The American Empire

One last song
Here at the end of the movie
They seemed so sure
At least, that's the way I remember
The war
What New York used to be

It's not half bad, no
Spend half your life being sad, whoa
Don't you weep, uh-oh
Half your life, fast asleep, uh-oh
Feelin' uninspired, uh-oh Heard the news on the radio
One last round before we go
Through the pale, atmospheric glow

And the oxygen's getting low
Sing a song that we used to know
One last round before we go
One last round before we go

So sad

Didn't use to get high
Didn't use to drink, and I
Didn't use to think I
Could ever dream about losin' you
Didn't use to get low
This time of night, and I
Didn't use to walk home
In the mornin' light without you
Without you

Didn't use to get high
Didn't use to drink
Didn't use to think I
Could ever dream about losin' you
You, but I do

It's you and I
It's do or die
Suicide mission
Baby, by my side
We got one life and half of it's gone
You know, I can't sleep with the television on
Didn't use to get high
With you by my side
Leave the light on
