(Is the empire answering, hello hello hello)
Who makes up the numbers, puts them in the places,
I can adjust the details until all the places fit
Who puts up the buildings, stacked up on the islands,
Working through the night because they don't know how to quit
What cuts up the pieces, puts them on the table,
Feeds them to you lovingly until it makes you sick
Watch in fascination as we fall
We know it's them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can't fight love or death, hey man, we got it all
Watch in fascination as we fall
Watch in fascination as we fall
Is the empire answering, hello hello hello
Watch in fascination as we fall
Tell me, who makes up the numbers,
Puts them in the places,
I can adjust the details until all the places fit
Who puts up the buildings, stacked up on the islands,
Working through the night because they don't know how to quit
What cuts up the pieces, puts them on the table,
Feeds them to you lovingly until it makes you sick
Watch in fascination as we fall
We know it's them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can't fight love or death, hey man, we got it all
Watch in fascination as we fall
Is the empire answering, hello hello hello
Oh we know it's them on the phone and yet we take the call
You can't fight love or death, hey man, we got it all
(Watch in fascination as we fall)
