Orphans Of Babylon

Be-Bop Deluxe

Marooned in Babylon,
Thrill seekers on the run
We're hiding from the sun tonight
My madness is set free,
I dream of sorcery
Bring all your sins to me tonight

The airships cross the sky in silent queues,
They fly their messages high to 'Read the Daily News'
And nothing here is certain,
And nothing is the truth
A peep behind the curtain will rob you of your truth

Turn on the video
We'll watch the late, late show,
It's all the rage you know, tonight
Kiss me and load my gun
Go put your nylons on
I'll have you as they run tonight

The airships cross the sky in silent queues
I shoot them as they fly, there's nothing else to do
And nothing here is certain, and nothing is the truth
A peep behind the curtain
Will rob you of your youth

Orphans of Babylon
We are the chosen ones
We'll do what no-ones' done, tonight
So kiss the truth goodbye,
We thrive upon your lies
We've got no alibis' tonight
We've got no alibis' tonight
We've got no alibis' tonight
