a. Daniel

Daniel's traveling on a plane tonight

I can see the red taillight heading for Babylon

Daniel's dreaming dreams and visions tonight

he can see chimeras and nine headed monsters

Daniel is so far away

he's a hostage of Babylon

he dream his dreams now and then

he walks the streets of angels

Daniel's playing in the lions den

the music's high and the disco light is flashing

Daniel's waking up on the dancing floor

the dream still lingers on before his weary eyes

Daniel is so far away

he's a hostage of Babylon

he dream his dreams now and then

he walks the streets of angels

b. Orphans of Babylon

Playing with gold in the gutter

throwing with dirt at each other

longing for father and mother

longing for air, so don't you smother

Orphans of Babylon

they have to carry on

orphans of Babylon

we are the choosen ones

Flying the kites in the garden

satisfying the devils bargain

spending some time at the market

looking for magic shiny objects

Orphans of Babylon

they have to carry on

orphans of Babylon

we are the choosen ones

Here comes the high priestess

entering like a queen

she helps the helpless ones

with a jar of vaseline

Here comes the hierophant

doing the best he can

to show his mystery

and to activate your fear

c. Nebuchadnezzar (instrumental)

d. Babylon

You said

I could, I could

leave any time

I wanted to

You lied

I know, I know

you need me more

than I needed you

Babylon

Babylon

you hold me

in captivity

I want

to leave, to leave

this menagerie

behind my back

I don't

believe, believe

in you and the things

you want to do

Babylon

Babylon

you hold me

in captivity

Babylon

Babylon

you hold me

in captivity

Babylon

Babylon

your tower's crumb

ling to the ground

Babylon

Babylon

we run away

in confusion

e. Marduk (instrumental)

f. Babylon Airport

People come and people go

some are carried away

this is where you come and show

you've not been led astray

Babylon airport

we fly away with fire

Babylon airport

destiny's desire

Oxygen masks are required

and pin pricks now and then

vestal virgins in the mist

conducts the ceremony

Babylon airport

we fly away with fire

Babylon airport

destiny's desire

Off we go into the air

goodbye to all despair

off we go into the air

hello my cozy chair

g. Daniel (reprise)

Visions of the beasts from sea stand clear

the nightclub is closing and they turn out the lights

Everlasting kingdom closes for tonight

be back tomorrow and we'll serve you with all our might

Daniel is so far away

he's a hostage of Babylon

he dream his dreams now and then

he walks the streets of angels

Daniel is so far away

he's a hostage of Babylon

he dream his dreams now and then

he walks the streets of angels
