Testo Babylon Blues - Ian Hunter
Testo della canzone Babylon Blues (Ian Hunter), tratta dall'album Man Overboard
Take a look at yourself baby – take a look at yourself –
Take a look at yourself
You ain't exactly a picture of health
In your finest hour – at the height o'your power –
Everything's gone sour
Your ivory tower morphed into a cell
Confidence shattered, mad as a hatter – what's the matter with you?
Don't try pulling me down to your level –
Ain't nothing worse than a phony-assed rebel
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
You a yellowin' book – got a amethyst skin –
You been taken in by the paradise
Feeding off your adrenalin
You gotta fight without – you gotta fight within –
You gotta flat-out swim
That ominious current that's sweeping you in
Meals on wheels? Sympathy? What d'ya want from me?
There's a big black cloud hangin' over your head –
Looks like silver but it's heavy as lead
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
Say you gonna quit – that's the end of it –
But the peaces don't fit – what am I stupid?
I don't buy it
Just another blind beggar on the road to fame –
With a messed up body and a messed up brain
I don't buy it
It's a cynical world – it's a bad old world –
It's a sinister world babe
You get what you want an' your still miserable
At the terminal gate – at the terminal gate –
At the terminal gate
You better back off before it's too late
I remember when you opened your mouth an'
Everything freaked at what come out
When I'm gone – remember that
You can't take the alley outta some o' these cats
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
