Lyrics

Come on, boys!
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...
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun 'cause of Babylon
I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down to Babylon
I'm gone to Babylon
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
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun 'cause of Babylon
I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down
I gotta get around to Babylon
Let's go to Babylon, boys!
I'm gone to Babylone
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
Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun 'cause of Babylon
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
