Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, Babylon, Babylon!
Spill the secrets
And then you'll tell me
When this is over
Overdone and over-out
Folded papers
Those saints at labor love but fall
In Babylon
Babylon bombs
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty orcus
And swing that cue, yeah
A 21st-century schism
On a 21st-century loom of red, white, and blue
[Verse 2]
Heavens to Betsy
There is a place for a street named disgrace
Six-six-cicada
Six-six-cicada
House on a hill for a street named disgrace
I'm awakened
I'm awakened
I'm awake
[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm no fake
In a Babylon, Babylon groove, boy
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty orcus
And swing 'round that cue, yeah
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty orcus
Sing 21st-century
Gloom
[Verse 4]
Oh, Babylon, Babylon!
I'm awakened
They fear I'm awakened
[Verse 5]
This world may be over
But when I'm with you
There's no place to hide
[Verse 6]
Yes, I'm no fake
In a Babylon, Babylon groove, boy
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty orcus
And swing that cue, yeah
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty orcus
Sing a 21st-century
[Outro]
Heavens to Betsy
There is a place for a street named Disgrace
Six-six-cicada
Six-six-cicada
House on a hill for a street named Disgrace
