Empires Lyrics - 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?
