She laid down her crazy laws she welcomed us in her arms
we fell for her charms
she treated us like nothing but fools she mixed the truth in with
lies and laughed at our cries
oh you know you promised me
all the answers that would set me free
Oh Babylon you’re such a beautiful child
sweet music we heard when you smiled
you’ve got us riding on this runaway train
with no hope or direction now I know
you’re clearly insane
She danced around like a drunken who*e
but all her good stuff was stale why did we inhale
cos we are only children at heart on a slippery path
let’s have the last laugh
oh Babylon she’ll really take you far
she rules the world yes she’s a superstar
Oh Babylon you’re such a beautiful queen
the most seductive eyes that I’ve ever seen
you left us breathless it was such a surprise
you shaved to perfection I’ve got to hand it to you
for such a brilliant disguise
Oh you know you promised me
all the answers that would set me free
Oh Babylon you’re such a beautiful child
sweet music we heard when you smiled
you’ve got us riding on this runaway train
with no hope or direction now I know
you’re clearly insane you’re clearly insane
you’re clearly insane you’re really insane
oh Babylon the great oh Babylon the great....
just look what you’ve done you’ve cast a cloud on the son
you’ve misled everyone oh Babylon
what have you done what have you done....
