lyrics

Fall Of The Empire

I picked you from a hotel bar, polished girl of family
Chased the wind, it carried us
Where we could feel free
The advantages I took
Gave you more than it looks

Nearly gave up the good life for a story and a dream
But trust fund girls don't stay long on the scene
A well bred boy of good intentions will carry you off

Oh the fall of the empire starts so slow,
Oh I promise, you'll hardly notice it at all
Oh the fall of the empire ends in a joke,
Oh I promise, you'll wont feel anything, anything at all

In the country clubs in Spain
In the parlours and the pick up joints
Tattooed body boys with charm for days
Nature will betray you
But turning your heart is still a dangerous game

And the stories that you tell will give you a faint hope
And the jealous girls' glares will give you strength
To carry on, to carry on
