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
|
|
Chorus:
|
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...
