It's not safe to be Where this all once began The tides will turn and It will begin again It will begin again The beast is lurching toward Bethlehem All around a brand new Babylon This top can't ever stop spinning The center will not hold If you try any harder They will break you on the shore There is no quenching the hunger The empty hole that's Always craving more The beast is lurching toward Bethlehem All around a brand new Babylon This top can't ever stop spinning The center will not hold This top can't stop spinning The center will not hold The beast is lurching toward Bethlehem All around a brand new Babylon This top can't ever stop spinning The center will not hold.
