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, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Don't be scared, oh-oh
Just chronically impaired, oh-oh
Just take my hand, oh-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
When New York used to be
It's not half bad, oh-oh
Spend half your life bein' sad, whoa
Don't you weep, oh-oh
Half your life, fast asleep, oh-oh
Feelin' uninspired, oh-oh
Standin' at the end of the American empire
And we know that it's time to go
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 used to get high
Didn't used to drink, and I
Didn't used to think I
Could ever dream about losin' you
Didn't used to get low
This time of night, and I
Didn't used to walk home
In the mornin' light without you
Without you
Didn't used to get high
Didn't used to drink
Didn't used 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 used to get high
With you by my side
Leave the light on
