Babylon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
First time I came to Babylon
I felt so lonely
I felt so lonely and people came along
To mistreat me
Calling me so many names in the streets
And I was so shy
That I began to cry
But now
I am so proud
Of whatever should be
Cause I have a silver knife
And my lover is Satan's wife
And I don't care
If you don't dare see
