The Tower of Babylon

Here in the Tower of Babylon
Building the steps to the sky
Everyone’s hammering all day long
Building the dreams of their lives

This is the story of the common man
Everybody’s standing in line
Scientists talking in riddles and
Politicians looking so blind
Building the Tower... of Babylon

CHORUS:
Babylon, we’re climbing right up to the sun
Babylon, no fun until your work is done

Just like the story in Genesis
We’re building the Tower of Babel
Everyone’s speaking in alien tongues
I think it’s a sign of the fable
Building the Tower...  of Babylon

Babylon, we’re climbing right up to the sun ...

BRIDGE:
At the top of the tower’s a rocket-ship
Burning with righteous design
Everyone’s looking for chariots
Watching the stars for a sign

Here in the Tower of Babylon
Milking the sacred cow
I’m only dreaming of dancing with you
Living in the here and the now 
Building the Tower...
Building the Tower...
Building the Tower... of Babylon

CHORUS x 2
Babylon, we’re climbing right up to the sun
Babylon, no fun until your work is done
