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, yeah So put your tongue in my ear Through this veil of 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 vengeance Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets The pride of man is so contentious So put your tongue in my ear Through this veil of tears Whisper, what's gone wrong, gone wrong Gone wrong, gone wrong? The world, the world, the world she's a Babylon This is 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 So put your tongue in my ear Through this veil of tears Whisper, what's gone wrong, gone wrong Gone wrong, gone wrong? The world, the world, the world she's a Babylon
