Rivers Babylon (medley)
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.
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land
Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimpse
Of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me
Now it's history, I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan
Oh, the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then I'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Oh, when you're big in Japan
Au dessus des vieux volcans
Glisse des ailes sous les tapis du vent
Voyage, voyage
Eternellement
De nuages en marécages
De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'équateur
Voyage, voyage
Vole dans les hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales
Des idées fatales
Regarde l'océan
Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour, (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien, (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Et jamais ne revient
Gloria, you're always on the run now
Running after somebody
You gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down before you start to blow it
I think you're headed for a breakdown
So be careful not to show it
You really don't remember, was it something that he said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave them hangin' on the
Line, oh-oh-oh, calling Gloria
Gloria (Gloria)
I think they got your number (Gloria)
I think they got the alias (Gloria)
That you've been living under (Gloria)
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha
