lyrics

Purple Mountain Emperor
Riding through the cloudy sky
Thunderhead upon his brow
Spinning wheels eight miles high
No time or mind to touch it down
Burn through oil lightning strike
Cadillac of black and gray
Shattering the restless night

Purple Mountain Emperor
Whiskey drunk behind the wheel
Crash into the skyscrapers
Opening the seven seals
Moon a tumble in the sky
Mountain crash upon the land
The Emperor is dozing off
Wheel is slipping from his hands

Purple Mountain Emperor
Grinding gears into the dawn
On a trip to paradise
Took a turn to Babylon
Spent his cash and sold his soul
Pawned his heart for just a buck
Tires flat and engine cold
Out of gas and out of luck

Day won't reckon what is dawning in the nation
Sky and sea, every heartbeat, desperation
