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
