Forever, you'll be remembered |
|
As the one who played it cool |
|
Whenever they speak your name they'll say |
|
It's you who broke the golden rule |
|
But here's what I really want to know |
|
Did you see the writing on the wall |
|
Babylon |
|
How long can this foolish magic carry on |
|
Babylon |
|
Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone |
|
Babylon is it true |
|
That your streets were paved with gold |
|
And did you play beneath the stars |
|
Babylon did you know it would all come down to |
|
How you played the dealer's cards |
|
Remember how you loved the laughter |
|
A kingdom on the rise |
|
Crys in the night would turn you to song |
|
And when they call ooh you sang along |
|
Here's what I really want to know |
|
Did you see the writing on the wall |
|
Babylon |
|
How long will this foolish magic carry on |
|
Babylon |
|
Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone |
|
Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold |
|
And did you play beneath the stars |
|
Babylon did you know it would all come down to |
|
How you played the dealer's cards |
|
It's over you rate two pages in some book |
|
Your legacy |
|
Lost in the night and still you sing your song |
|
For those who will take heed |
|
Here's what I really want to know |
|
Did you see the writing on the wall |
|
Babylon |
|
How long will this foolish magic carry on |
|
Babylon |
|
Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone |
|
Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold |
|
And did you play beneath the stars |
|
Babylon did you know it would all come down to |
|
How you played the dealer's cards |
