Johnny Johnson - Babylon Lyrics

It's not hard to forget you
You're not the one that got away
Into the arms of a saviour
Cities of gold fortune and fame
Bright lights are blinding
But the truth is shown now
The sweet taste of paradise
Turns to ash in your mouth

They bought and sold you
Now you're gone you're gone
This city owns you
Babylon (Babylon)
They mock and scold you
Now you're done you're done
These devils hold you
Babylon (Babylon)

Nothing here will protect you
No crucifix or magic spell
Tied in the ropes of their slavery
Every day a deeper hell
Fools gold might be shining
Just a stone within a stream
Who knows what else has been hiding
With all the monsters in your dreams

They bought and sold you
Now you're gone you're gone,
This city owns you
Babylon (Babylon)
They mock and scold you
You're done you're done
These devils hold you
Babylon (Babylon)

Well you can say I'm jaded yeah
Yeah you can rush headlong
Yeah you can call me a liar yeah
But you are wrong
Too far gone
Now you belong
To Babylon

Sweet whore of Babylon
Yeah yeah
Sweet whore of Babylon
Whoa yeah
Sweet whore of Babylon
Oh yeah

You are wrong
Too far gone
Now you belong
To Babylon
