Michael Oakley - Babylon (Official Music Video)

Sirens cut the smoke filled air

Upon rooftops a blue light glares

Rain rolls down my window

A voice inside starts hitting home

Wayward kids sail down the street

Some right of passage now complete

How many times can blind eyes turn?

To trouble in the wings

When all I need

Is one chance at finding my place

It's time to leave

Downtown cold heart of this space

If there's a chance then I'm gonna take it

I tell myself I've nothing to lose

But every time I leave here for something

I can't help but fall back to you

When all I need is one chance at finding my place

It's time to leave downtown cold heart of this space

How'd we ever get so far

With mantras that don't reach the stars?

Don't reach above your station

But my heart just longs for action

Some days there's more hate than love

For the life you've got and dreaming of

Sometimes I see

Georgie Square and a busker mid song

Just you and me

The empty street and the long way back home

If there's a chance then I'm gonna take it

I tell myself I've nothing to lose

But every time I leave here for something

I can't help but fall back to you

When all I need is one chance at finding my place

It's time to leave downtown cold heart of this space

If there's a chance then I'm gonna take it

I tell myself I've nothing to lose

But every time I leave here for something

I can't help but fall back to you

When all I need is one chance at finding my place

It's time to leave downtown cold heart of this space
