The Dead Lennies - Old Empires Lyrics

I saw electric funeral fires on my own
I've felt the old empires burning in my bones
I saw electric funeral fires on my own
I've felt the old empires burning in my bones burning in my bones

New venom ate your curses
Close without a care
New venom broke your trusting
Cause without a care

One chandelier was there
And caught you in the eye
Some chandeliers will blind you
Right between the eyes, right between the eyes

I saw electric funeral fires on my own
I've felt the old empires burning in my bones
I saw electric funeral fires on my own
I've felt the old empires burning in my bones

For better for worse
Forget everything I say
Better let the worse forget me
Each and every day

Dogmatic Coltrane soul train
And anything you need
New venom open floodgates
With everything you need, with everything you need

I saw electric funeral fires on my own
I've felt the old empires burning in my bones
I saw electric funeral fires on my own
I've felt the old empires burning in my bones burning in my bones
