Lyrics
Drive west on sunset to the sea
Turn that jungle music down
Just until we're out of town
This is no one night stand
It's a real occasion
"Close your eyes and you'll be there"
It's everything they say
The end of a perfect day
Distant lights from across the bay
Babylon sisters, shake it
Babylon sisters, shake it
So fine, so young
Tell me I'm the only one
Here come those Santa Ana winds again
We'll jog with the show folk on the sand
Drink kirschwasser from a shell
San Francisco show and tell
Well I should know by now
That it's just a spasm
Like a Sunday in T.J.
That it's cheap, but it's not free
That I'm not what I used to be
And that love's not a game for three
Babylon sisters, shake it
Babylon sisters, shake it
So fine, so young
Tell me I'm the only one
Here come those Santa Ana winds again
My friends say, "No don't go
For that cotton candy"
"Son you're playing with fire"
"The kid will live and learn
As he watches his bridges burn
From the point of no return"
Babylon sisters, shake it
Babylon sisters, shake it
So fine, so young
Tell me I'm the only one
You got to shake it, baby
You got to shake it, baby
You got to shake it
You got to shake it, baby
You got to shake it, baby
You got to shake it
You got to shake it, baby
You got to shake it, baby
You got to shake it
