Take a look at yourself baby â take a look at yourself â
Take a look at yourself
You ain't exactly a picture of health
In your finest hour â at the height o'your power â
Everything's gone sour
Your ivory tower morphed into a cell
Confidence shattered, mad as a hatter â what's the matter with you?
Don't try pulling me down to your level â
Ain't nothing worse than a phony-assed rebel
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
You a yellowin' book â got a amethyst skin â
You been taken in by the paradise
Feeding off your adrenalin
You gotta fight without â you gotta fight within â
You gotta flat-out swim
That ominious current that's sweeping you in
Meals on wheels? Sympathy? What d'ya want from me?
There's a big black cloud hangin' over your head â
Looks like silver but it's heavy as lead
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
Say you gonna quit â that's the end of it â
But the peaces don't fit â what am I stupid?
I don't buy it
Just another blind beggar on the road to fame â
With a messed up body and a messed up brain
I don't buy it
It's a cynical world â it's a bad old world â
It's a sinister world babe
You get what you want an' your still miserable
At the terminal gate â at the terminal gate â
At the terminal gate
You better back off before it's too late
I remember when you opened your mouth an'
Everything freaked at what come out
When I'm gone â remember that
You can't take the alley outta some o' these cats
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
