Empires - elbow

Baby

Empires crumble all the time

Pay it no mind

You just happened to witness mine

Don’t let all the light fall from your eyes

Come come

Empires crumble all the time

How can a dismally typical Tuesday

Delivering blues with lead in its canopy

Scruff me pin me and let’s make a man of me

Turn up the pounding of the hearts all around

And I’m bound to get busy with checking on the living

And I’ll wring out their hands and my eyes with the sobbing

But how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead?

Baby

Empires crumble all the time

Pay it no mind

You just happened to witness mine

Don’t let all the light fall from your eyes

Come come

Empires crumble all the time

How can a dismally typical Tuesday

Delivering blues with lead in its canopy

Scruff me pin me and let’s make a man of me

Turn up the pounding of the hearts all around

And I’m bound to get busy with checking on the living

And I’ll wring out their hands and my eyes with the sobbing

But how can a bland unremarkable typical Tuesday be Day of the Dead?

Baby

Empires crumble all the time
