Lyrics - Watching Evil Empires Fail apart - Electric Six
Back in the years before blood lost all its flavor, You slipped and fell but fell into my favor. But I
Chose the land between (???) 'Cos I heard they were looking for a savior.
So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west, Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test.
Came walking through the stands, And you were wearing that dress. Lost my answers to the boys in the mess
Dropped to my knees and began to confess...
I control the world! You controlled my heart! And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart [Oh yes it was]!
You saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart, So you raided my artillery for a tranquilizer dart. You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart. Let your tender reign over me, start
I spend the next twenty years with my head between your knees, All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas. There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze, 'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas accumulating so many enemies.
They would fall for me! And I would fall to you! And your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo.
When they write my history, Will they include all your conquests of me?
I control the world, You controlled my heart! Your light would always guide my motto in the dark, Your side-ward beam preserved in status and in art. And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.
Chose the land between (???) 'Cos I heard they were looking for a savior.
So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west, Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test.
Came walking through the stands, And you were wearing that dress. Lost my answers to the boys in the mess
Dropped to my knees and began to confess...
I control the world! You controlled my heart! And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart [Oh yes it was]!
You saw that only my blood lust could tear us apart, So you raided my artillery for a tranquilizer dart. You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart. Let your tender reign over me, start
