"Babylon Baby" lyrics - MIKE GORDON

She's been the same as the pillars and the stones
And I sit on the wall and ponder alone
She's like an institution on her own
You can open up the Gates of Babylon, I'm coming home

Babylon baby, take me, we'll try to save me
Babylon baby, take me home
And I can keep my God thinkin'
No one knows since I've been drinkin'
'Cause I don't want to spend this night alone

You done that assume, little rough around the edges
But you bet the night, I might just clean up nice
Well, I'm serving out the last piece of my pent up rebellion
Bring on all the material goods and family ties

Babylon baby, take me, we'll try to save me
Babylon baby, take me home
And I can keep my God thinkin'
No one knows since I've been drinkin'
'Cause I don't want to spend this night alone

I don't care about my big dumb bungalow
No, no, I don't
Make me a copy of the key to the city
And I'll try to make that my new home
No need to live the kind of life I've known

Here we are in a room full of suitors and players
And your hand is cold from pouring icy punch
I can fake some worldly-ness and standard sayings
If I know that I'm having you for lunch

Babylon baby, take me home, try to save me
Babylon baby, take me home
(Come on, baby, take me home)
Babylon baby, take me home, try to save me
Babylon baby, take me home
(Baby, baby, take me home)

Babylon baby, take me home
Babylon baby, take me
