Lyrics

Babs and Babs lay dreaming in a four poster bed
Arm in arm, head to head, Babs and Babs
Babs said, "Whatcha thinking?"
She said, "Nothing
But I never do 'cause I leave it up to you"
Babs looked through the window
Saw the moon in the sky
She saw the clouds drifting by
Voices crying, and sighing, and dying
But she said nothing
Said "Look out on the lawn, there is a moon out tonight (Moon out tonight)
There's a moon out tonight, say can't ya see?"
"Silver dreams don't move me, or your talk of the sky
And this isn't the time to make a fool of me" Oh no
"No one wants to hear you when you're slipping away
And the light of the day always shows up the strength of your vision"
But she said nothing
Oh, nothing
Oh, nothing
But then she turned, and she finally said
So Babs said "Don't you worry, I'll take good care of you
Your lack of feeling's a rotten thing
But I'll show you what to do
Girl, you've got to get away
Girl, you've got to feel" Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Said "Don't you patronize me, I'm fine the way I am
At least I know what's happening
And I know where I stand
You live alone, you die alone
When your dreams all fade away" Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Never compromising, never see eye to eye
So they turn, with a sigh, Babs and Babs
They have to be together like the night and the day
So they might as well stay the best of friends
Locked in love we leave them with the moon in the sky
With the clouds drifting by
Voices crying and sighing and dying and she said nothing
She's saying nothing
She's saying nothing
Oh, nothing
She's saying nothing
Always nothing
Nothing, nothing
Babs and Babs
Babs and Babs say nothing, nothing
Ah, nothing
She's saying nothing
Yeah
