Babylon Lyrics by Shotgun Messiah

Second Coming

1991

[Intro]
Come on, boys!
[Verse 1]
Wow, when I woke up this morning, boys, I was gone
My girlfriend asked me where do I come from
Put my face up in the mirror just to clock my wares
First thing I know I gotta get outta here, go back to...
[Chorus]
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun 'cause of Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down to Babylon
I'm gone to Babylon
[Verse 2]
I was just drivin' 'round tonight, boys, but I was gone
When the coppers asked me where do I come from
One looks at my cards, one checks my ID
With this junk on my face it's so easy to see, I'm from
[Chorus]
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun 'cause of Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down
I gotta get around to Babylon
[Bridge]
Let's go to Babylon, boys!
I'm gone to Babylone
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
She's been massagin' all day, but she's thinkin' 'bout you, daddy
An' thinkin' 'bot you, daddy, 'til they all go away
So when she's up there dancin', she's a tryin' to make a buck
Tryin' to grind 'em to some nightrain
Tryin' to give 'em all the luck of
[Chorus]
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun 'cause of Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down
I won't be safe child
Nobody's safe 'til they're in Babylon
I'm gone to Ba-Ba-Babylon
