Lyrics
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.
Forever, you'll be remembered as the one who played it cool
Whenever they speak your name they'll say it's you who broke the golden rule
But here's 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 dealer's 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
Here's 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 dealer's cards
It's 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
Here's 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 dealer's cards
