"Babylon" lyrics - JOSEPH WILLIAMS

The trouble with you is the same trouble with me
Is we refuse to believe what we
Cannot easily see, and I
Still feel the sweat on my hand, boys
Still feel the sting in my eyes
And what we don't understand, we will
Try to pass off as lies and it's

Walk on the fire escape, tell me the password
Nobody here ever got in the last word
Kick off your high heels, don't be a cheapskate
Let's get in close, I just hope that it's not too late
To set the record straight
As we turn the tide on God and pride and wonder
How we got here from Babylon

The word on the streets is that we better be smart
If we don't keep on our feet, they will
Just take it out on our heart, but it's
Not really 'cause for alarm, boys
I've seen it happen before
At first you don't understand, then the
Next thing you come back for more, well, it's

Walk on the staircase, open the floodgate
You know we'll pay for making the girls wait
Look at them dancing out on the concrete
Who ever thought that we'd ever be discrete
And so light on our feet
As we turn the tide on God and pride and wonder
How we got here from Babylon

So many times I've walked behind you
So many times I've lost the reason I was hoping I could find you

The truth of it is, I don't know how to get back
I haven't tried for a while, maybe
You guys can cut me some slack, it's like
L've been afraid of the dark, boys
That is the absence of light
I'm in a dangerous mood, I guess
It kind of hit me tonight and it's

Walk on the fire escape, tell me the password
Nobody here ever got in the last word
Take off your lipstick, don't be a cheap date
Let's get in close, I just hope that it's not too late
To set the record straight
As we turn the tide on God and pride and wonder
How we got here from Babylon

Wonder how we got here from Babylon
