The Prince of the Hanging Gardens Lyrics by Beatenberg

The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg

2014

[Verse 1]
I'm a lazy student
In a circular library
With a glass ceiling
And a parquet floor
After graduation
I'm gonna go to the Amazon
In search of a pigment
That I want on my wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me
Scold me
Extol me
Console me
Through the 90s
And the 80s
And the Tigris
The Euphrates
[Chorus]
And after all that I've said
I want you to know me
I want you to throw me
In the river
So the clouds that follow my head
Can finally rain down 
On all your hydrangeas
I never had a doubt that you would come through
I always adored you 
I always ignored you
Just to make you try harder 
To you do what you do
I had to be awful  
Just to keep you from danger     
[Verse 2]
Come stand at my window 
With a view of suburbia
As it marks out the edges
Of my opulent grounds
I'm rich but I'm troubled;
There's a worm in my Bougainvillaea
Why do you plague me
When my ethics are sound?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me
Scold me
Extol me
Console me
Through the 90s
And the 80s
Through the waters
Of the sea
[Chorus]
And after all that I've said
I want you to know me
I want you to throw me
In the river
So the clouds that follow my head
Can finally rain down 
On all your hydrangeas
I never had a doubt that you would come through
I always adored you 
I always ignored you
Just to make you try harder 
To you do what you do
I had to be awful  
Just to keep you from danger     
[Bridge]
And after all I've said
It's academia
How could I be so faithful
To the Queen of Media?
[Pre-Chorus]
Through the 90s
And the 80s
In the AD
And the BC
Through the Xanthus
And the Yangtze
And the Niger
And the Ganges
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me
Fold me
Control me
Cajole me
And release me 
On the Lethe
And the ichor through my body
[Chorus]
And after all that I've said
I want you to know me
I want you to throw me
In the river
So the clouds that follow my head
Can finally rain down 
On all your hydrangeas
I never had a doubt that you would come through
I always adored you 
I always ignored you
Just to make you try harder 
To you do what you do
I had to be awful  
Just to keep you from danger     
[Outro]
Babylon
Babble on
