Babylon   Run Time: 3:58

Written by Bill Mallonee for Russachugama Music and CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©1994

well sweetness i love it when you wrap me up
i'm a drowning man down the third time
twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy
preparing my body for burial at sea

so put your tongue in my ear
through this veil of tears
whisper what's gone wrong
the world she's a babylon

coming in from the coast it's a bad northeaster
waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
building up the tower unlocking all the secrets
the pride of man is so contentious

see here this is no pleasure cruise in the south pacific
i'm bailing ice water up to my neck
titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her
you might say he learned a healthy respect

Did You Know?

This song was covered by Edwin McCain in his 2006 release Lost in America. On this same album, Edwin also covers Mallonee's "Welcome to Struggleville."
