Babylon

Well 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 [Chorus] So put your tongue in my ear Through this veil of tears Whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong? The world, the world she's a Babylon Coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets The pride of man is so contentious [Chorus] This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific I'm bailing ice water up to my neck Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her You might say he learned a healthy respect [Chorus]
