Babylon Songtext
von Edwin McCain

Sweetness I love it when you wrap me up
I′m a drowning man for the third time
Twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
Preparing my body for a burial at sea, yeah

So put your tongue in my ear, through these veiled tears
Whisper what's gone wrong
Gone wrong, gone wrong, gone wrong
The world, the world, the world
She′s a Babylon

Coming in from the coast, it's a bad nor'easter
Waves banging rocks with migraine binges
Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
The pride of man is so contentious


Put your tongue in my ear, through these veiled tears
Whisper what′s gone wrong
Gone wrong, gone wrong, gone wrong
The world, the world, the world
She′s a Babylon

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

Put your tongue in my ear, through these veiled tears
Whisper what's gone wrong
Gone wrong, gone wrong, gone wrong
The world, the world, the world
She′s a Babylon
