Lonesome in Babylon
lonesome in babylon lonesome in babylon
lonesome in babylon lonesome in babylon
in a city of excess in the city light
babel stand to fall encrusted city wall
lonesome in babylon lonesome in babylon
lonesome in babylon lonesome in babylon
in a city of money for the city’s fright
child off center stage must pay for city rage
lonesome in babylon lonesome in babylon
lonesome in babylon lonesome in babylon
said I long for dreary souls who seek a way
distraught with tomorrow destroy today
said I long for dreary souls who slip away
distraught with tomorrow kill yesterday
with tomorrow destroy today yeah yeah
there’s a man in a hooded robe
a million crimson souls
a child whose feet are bare
a choir hear them hear
and the world turns
and our endless piss and sighs
as the world turns
we scream out mellow lullabies
there’s an ancient story told
of a man thin loins clothed
how a twinkling star did shine
for he came to save mankind
and the world spun
for redemption had begun
for the world’s child
on a green hill was crucified
scream out mellow lullabies
we scream out mellow lullabies
heart and soul we learn
with our heart and souls we learn
sinman sin denies sinman sin defiles
heart and soul we learn
with our heart and souls we learn
sinman sin denies sinman sin defies
scream out mellow lullabies
we scream out mellow lullabies
