Sail Babylon Springs Songtext
Now, meanwhile downstairs

I'm setting up shop

A little too proud

To let the matter drop

And I can hear you up there
Isn't it romantic?

You're huffing and puffing

Rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic

And I reach for a glass

Of cool water, drawn

From the rivers of Babylon



And meanwhile outside

The stars've come out

And the humid summer air
Pulls at the ring in my snout

And you stand at your window, looking down

And I spread wide my arms

Jump if you want to jump

Jump if you want to

The water's warm

I know

I know, cos I've been swimming

Blindly along

Through the rivers of Babylon
