| Forever, youll be remembered as the one who played it cool
|
| Whenever they speak your name theyll say its you who broke the golden rule
|
| But heres what I really want to know
|
| Did you see the writing on the wall
|
| Babylon
|
| How long can this foolish magic carry on Babylon
|
| Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone
|
| Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold
|
| And did you play beneath the stars
|
| Babylon did you know it would all come down to How you played the dealers cards
|
| Remember how you loved the laughter
|
| A kingdom on the rise
|
| Crys in the night would turn you to song
|
| And when they call ooh you sang along
|
| Heres what I really want to know
|
| Did you see the writing on the wall
|
| Babylon
|
| How long will this foolish magic carry on Babylon
|
| Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone
|
| Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold
|
| And did you play beneath the stars
|
| Babylon did you know it would all come down to How you played the dealers cards
|
| Its over you rate two pages in some book
|
| Your legacy
|
| Lost in the night and still you sing your song
|
| For those who will take heed
|
| Heres what I really want to know
|
| Did you see the writing on the wall
|
| Babylon
|
| How long will this foolish magic carry on Babylon
|
| Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone
|
| Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold
|
| And did you play beneath the stars
|
| Babylon did you know it would all come down to How you played the dealers cards… |
