Babylon

Babylon Lyrics

Well sweetness I love it, when you wrap me up
I'm a drowning man for the third time
21 gun salute in your flag of mercy
Preparing my body for a burial at sea

Chorus:
So put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears, whisper what's gone wrong
Gone wrong (x3), The world (x3)
She's a Babylon

Coming in from the coast it's a bad Noreaster
Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
Well build up the tower, I'm locking the secrets
The pride of man is so contentious

(Chorus)

There's no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
I'm bailing ice water, up to my neck
The Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
You might say he learned a healthy respect

(Chorus)
