0:01One last dance
0:07Here at the end of the empire
0:15Makes me cry
0:22Watching the moon on the ocean
0:31Where California used to be
0:35It's not half bad oh
0:41Spend half your life being sad woah
0:49Well don't be scared oh oh
0:55Just chronically impaired oh oh
1:03Just take my hand oh oh
1:07Standing at the end of the American Empire
1:18One last song
1:25Here at the end of the movie
1:32They seemed so sure
1:39At least that's the way I remember the war
1:48When New York used to be
1:52It's not half bad oh oh
1:57Spending half your life being sad woah
2:06Don't you weep oh oh
2:12Half your life fast asleep oh oh
2:19Feeling uninspired oh
2:24Standing at the end of the American Empire
2:34And we know that it's time to go
2:41Heard the news on the radio
2:48One last round before we go
2:55Through the pale atmospheric glow
3:02And the oxygen's getting low
3:09Sing a song that we used to know
3:16One last round before we go
3:23One last round before we go
3:37So sad
3:46Didn't use to get high
3:49Didn't use to drink and I
3:53Didn't use to think I
3:57Could ever dream about losing you
4:04Didn't use to get low
4:07This time of night and I
4:11Didn't use to walk home
4:14In the morning light
4:17Without you
4:20Without you
4:23Didn't use to get high
4:28Didn't use to drink
4:30Didn't use to think I
4:35Could ever dream about losing you you
4:43But I do
4:45It's you and I it's do or die
4:49Suicide mission baby by my side
4:52We got one life and half of it's gone
4:55You know I can't sleep with the television on
4:59Didn't use to get high
5:06With you by my side
5:12Leave the light on
