Babylon Lyrics by David Gray

The Best of David Gray

1998

[Verse 1]
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind, I've been a fool
To open up my heart to all that
Jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

[Verse 2]
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowds I'm pushing
Chemicals are rushing in my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here, you know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made

[Chorus]
And if you want it, come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart, let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart, let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon

[Verse 3]
Sunday, all the lights of London
Shining, sky is fading red to blue
Kicking through the autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home, you know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair, I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me

[Chorus]
And if you want it, come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart, let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart, let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart, let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart, let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon, ah
