The Cat Empire

Something, something kissed my lips
Something, something brushed my fingertips
The north winds battle in the car park
And the darkness is the darkness
Somewhere the night is on the run
With a bottle of ouzo and a rusty gun
The north wind is like a Spanish guitar
Soaked in petrol, burning on the bar
Let the dead raise their heads
And the dying leave their beds
Ah, she didn't believe what her Mama said
And she clambered out the window in the darkness
And behind you in the night
A million dogs come out to fight
Cause it's the empire that be rising
Rising, rising through the night
Something, something give me strength
I'm burning, burning on the brink
