We wasted the wishes

We were given on a fish

And now we're burned by an alien sun

We break down

And crumble one by one

We don't look like the others

We could paint ourselves in colors

That look more like a king's than a slave's

But we barely

Remember what we gave

And you never know

Who might be listening

We'll be free of

All the sighs and sorrows

Follow me, love

We can fly right out the window

And we'll be gone

Moving on from Babylon

And if it's true

We'll make it through

We're building higher and higher

But it looks like Jeremiah'd

Rather cry in a corner alone

We beg for bread

They offer only stones

And you never know

Who might be listening

Can we give 'em

Any new resistance?

We'll be free of

All the sighs and sorrows

Follow me, love

We can fly right out the window

And we'll be gone

Moving on from Babylon

And if it's true

We'll make it through

Over and over, on and on

We'll be free of

All the sighs and sorrows

Follow me, love

We can fly right out the window

And we'll be gone

Moving on from Babylon

And if it's true

(On and on and on and on)

(Movin' on from Babylon)

We'll make it through

(On and on and on and on)

(Movin' on from Babylon)
