Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Out on the street
The real heads
Trying to keep it low
Saw you move to the beat
And I was blown away
That's all you need to know
Maybe I mistook
Pure distraction for a flash of love
[Chorus]
I wanna clear the air by Monday
If all the tanks are gone
And when it settles down, I wonder
If I'll like what we've done
You know we just started
We're proud-hearted
Like fish in the lobby
Dead and gone
Dancing in Babylon
[Verse 2]
Two ships in the night
Quietly signaling from the bow
Don't you miss feeling like
You could run away
And nobody had to know?
When your time is up
Call the captain, tell him to let me off
[Chorus]
Don't rush me
I don't wanna be
Thinking about this stuff
You hurt me and I run to you
Is that the big idea?
[Chorus]
You know we just started
Proud-hearted
Like fish in the lobby
Dead and gone
Dancing in Babylon
[Bridge]
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna touch the scars
And break the chains that hold you
But I won't start
Till the sun dips down
[Outro]
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
Dancing In Babylon
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
Dancing In Babylon
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
Dancing In Babylon
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
Dancing In Babylon
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I do
I wanna tell everyone I know
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
