lyrics

In the gallery of the wunderkind
Sits the candy girl
Trying to learn her lines
Needs to another way to Nirvana and soon

Caught the latest craze
wore a painted daze
All the stars came out to her twist and pout
But a perfect pitch always goes out of a tune

This is a message from Doctor Blue
won’t you put me in a take apart the blues in you
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Get yourself turned on
Oh whoa whoa whoa
It’s a Babylon - (so they say

Bye Bye Babylon my friend
You were just another tramline to the end
See you later, alligator
Again and again til the train comes round the bend
Bye Bye Babylon today
I got a feeling that I simply gotta get away
Sayonara, old euphoria
Gonna fill my soul with the morning glory haze
BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE

Cosmic apathy
Anesthetic Eyes
Not the kind of thing we can get behind
And a blushing veil doesn’t look so divine

Cause the bittersweet will only rot your teeth
And a microscope is a magazine
You can shoot a star but you can’t make it shine

Ours is the shoulder to listen to
We’ve been waiting in the wings to get a message through
Oh whoa whoa whoa
Get yourself turned on
Oh whoa whoa whoa
It’s a Babylon - so they say

Bye Bye Babylon my friend
You were just another tramline to the end
See you later, alligator
Again and again til the train comes round the bend
Bye Bye Babylon today
I got a feeling that I simply gotta get away
Sayonara, old euphoria
Gonna fill my soul with the morning glory haze
BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE BYE

You made a devil deal and signed the papers
Now you’re playing cards with the money makers
But everybody’s such a lady hater
Oh you’re gonna show them all

You took the bait and let them tow the aura
And now you’re dancing dumb with the dinosaur-a
Down at the funhouse playing old Pandora
Ya bang on the drunken drum
