End of the Empire I-IV

Lyrics

I. Last Dance [Verse 1: Win Butler] One last dance Here at the end of the empire Makes me cry Watching the moon on the ocean Where California used to be It's not half bad, oh Spend half your life being sad Well, don't be scared, oh-oh Just chronically impaired, oh-oh Just take my hand, oh-oh Standing at the end of the American Empire [Verse 2: Win Butler] One last song Here at the end of the movie They seemed so sure At lеast that's the way I remembеr the war When New York used to be It's not half bad, oh-oh Spending half your life being sad, woah Don't you weep, oh-oh Half your life fast asleep, oh-oh Feeling uninspired, oh Standing at the end of the American Empire II. Last Round [Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] 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 III. Leave The Light On [Intro: Win Butler] (So sad) [Verse 1: Win Butler] Didn't use to get high Didn't use to drink and I Didn't use to think I Could ever dream about losing you [Verse 2: Win Butler] Didn't use to get low This time of night and I Didn't use to walk home In the morning light Without you Without you [Verse 3: Win Butler] Didn't use to get high Didn't use to drink Didn't use to think I Could ever dream about losing you, you But I do [Chorus: Win Butler] 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 [Outro: Win Butler] Didn't use to get high With you by my side (Leave the light on) IV. Sagittarius A* [Verse 1: Win Butler] I unsubscribe I unsubscribe This ain't no way of life I don't believe the hype She unsubscribes She unsubscribes She says "There's diamonds in your eyes" High on her own supply She says "The air we're breathin' is from an exhaust pipe Just a prototype" [Verse 2: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] Midway through life (Unsubscribe) Virgil said let's take a ride (Unsubscribe) You'll need a divine guide (Ain't no way of life) 'Cause this inferno's hyperdrive (Don't believe the hype) And the dreams in your head The algorithm prescribed Do you feel alright? [Verse 3: Win Butler, Régine Chassagne & Both] Your heroes are selling you underwear And little white pills for your despair Little black space between the stars Dream about crashing expensive cars One Christ child and one on the way Why don't we name her Sagittarius A* What a pretty name [Verse 4: Win Butler & Régine Chassagne] We unsubscribe (Unsubscribe) Fuck season five (Unsubscribe) And anyway The clothes don't fit me right (Ain't no way of life) Must be the wrong body type (Don't believe the hype) And the space where they say Heaven is has gone away Sagittarius A* We'll see one day What's on the other side
