Empire Builder Lyrics

Empire, empire
Build it higher and higher
He's coming for booty
On a black-eyed horse, he'll ride it up the wall

They're gonna set you up pretty, Geronimo
They'll stick you coal-washing
At the cigar store for some firewater
Well, happy thanksgiving

You know, they're coming from burgeon
And chippin' in west
You know their burghers really are the best
The king of burgher

Yeah, they got your empire east
You'll probably ask of it
Opportunity's knocking
Your empire's building

And you're ready to call it a day
But the wheel's already in motion
Well, on the train of tomorrow
Get out of the way, empire builder

Well you've got to hit the road
Pretty mama's boy like an empire builder
Well, you've got to say goodbye to your mama
Like an empire builder


Peacemaker
Tree baker
Salt shaker
Earth quaker
Side shafter
King maker

Urge Overkill are an alternative rock band from Chicago that attracted underground attention in the late 80s and early 90s. While their ironic reshaping of 70's arena and glam rock left them marginalized during the height of grunge, they managed to appear on the charts with their cover of the Neil Diamond classic "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, which hit #50 on the US Charts, and #11 on the Modern Rock charts. Their single "Sister Havana" also received some airplay. They disbanded in 1997 due to various addictions and in 2004 reunited, although they did not take their drummer Blackie on tour with them. They are currently touring the US, and a new album of Urge Overkill material is anticipated.
