Bye Bye Babylon

In the gallery of the wunderkind

Sits the candy girl trying to learn her lines

Needs 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 tune

This is a message from Dr. Blue

"Won't you put me in and take apart the blues in you?"

Whoa-whoa (get yourself turned on)

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 got to get away

さよなら, old euphoria

Gonna fill my soul with the morning glory haze

Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye (whoo)

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

Whoa-whoa (get yourself turned on)

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 got to get away

さよなら, 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
