Babylon Blues |
| Take a look at yourself baby — take a look at yourself — |
| Take a look at yourself |
| You ain’t exactly a picture of health |
| In your finest hour — at the height o’your power — |
| Everything’s gone sour |
| Your ivory tower morphed into a cell |
| Confidence shattered, mad as a hatter — what’s the matter with you? |
| Don’t try pulling me down to your level — |
| Ain’t nothing worse than a phony-assed rebel |
| You do what you want to but leave me out o’this |
| You’re tangled up in Babylon blues |
| You a yellowin' book — got a amethyst skin — |
| You been taken in by the paradise |
| Feeding off your adrenalin |
| You gotta fight without — you gotta fight within — |
| You gotta flat-out swim |
| That ominious current that’s sweeping you in |
| Meals on wheels? |
| Sympathy? |
| What d’ya want from me? |
| There’s a big black cloud hangin' over your head — |
| Looks like silver but it’s heavy as lead |
| You do what you want to but leave me out o’this |
| You’re tangled up in Babylon blues |
| Say you gonna quit — that’s the end of it — |
| But the peaces don’t fit — what am I stupid? |
| I don’t buy it |
| Just another blind beggar on the road to fame — |
| With a messed up body and a messed up brain |
| I don’t buy it |
| It’s a cynical world — it’s a bad old world — |
| It’s a sinister world babe |
| You get what you want an' your still miserable |
| At the terminal gate — at the terminal gate — |
| At the terminal gate |
| You better back off before it’s too late |
| I remember when you opened your mouth an' |
| Everything freaked at what come out |
| When I’m gone — remember that |
| You can’t take the alley outta some o' these cats |
| You do what you want to but leave me out o’this |
| You’re tangled up in Babylon blues |
