Lost In Babylon

This is the story of a young boy

Who wants to leave home and grow and rise abroad

He wants to know what's beyond the sea

And come back one day as a man

He said, "Mama, don't you ever cry"

I'll come back to you, just pray for your son

And he hits the road alone

Going straight to Babylon

And he's gone (oh-oh)

On his road to Babylon

Yes, he's gone (oh-oh)

Alone, alone, alone, straight to Babylon

After walking days and nights across the desert

Passing other countries and other borders

He couldn't wait, no, he couldn't stand

Fleeing his miserable dirty poor land

One day he'll be back

But today he wants to get away

And if money runs the world

He'll go follow where it comes from

To feed his family

He's ready to sacrifice

And one day he'll be back

But now it's time to break away

And he's gone (oh-oh)

On his road to Babylon

Yes, he's gone (oh-oh)

On his road to Babylon

Yes, he's gone (oh-oh)

Alone, alone, alone, straight to Babylon

And then got to Babylon

Attracted by the lights

He got lost

Forgetting why he came

Forgetting where he came from

He got lost in Babylon

Lost in Babylon

Lost in Babylon

Lost in Babylon

He got lost (oh-oh)

He got lost, lost in Babylon

He got lost (oh-oh)

Alone, alone in Babylon

He got lost (oh-oh), he got lost

He got lost, alone in Babylon

Alone in Babylon, alone in Babylon

Alone in Babylon, alone in Babylon

He got lost, lost in Babylon

Alone in Babylon

He got lost
