Ian Thompson - Babylon the great lyrics

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....
