End of the Empire I-III - Arcade Fire

I. Last Dance

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, woah

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

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

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

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

(So sad)

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

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

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

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 use to get high

With you by my side

(Leave the light on)
