modern-day babylonia

you live a life of ease
you do as you please
you're heard to moan, to bitch and bleat
you get plenty of food to eat
it's never enough
I wear a velvet cuff on my wrist
my situation is simply this
I'm free to do as I please
if I can do it on my knees
it's never enough
modern-day babylonia
there's still time to change your fate
set your heart right and you'll be straight
you lit fire to the street
you never taste defeat
you never learn, but until then
you do the same shit again and again

flame

I don't have any words to tell you how I feel
everything around me seems so real
but I can call to mind a time when you once held me near
and everything around me disappears
once upon a time you sighed and whispered in my ear
made up words with meaning still obscure
you could sign a valentine for everybody here
and all the while I'm feeling no less sure
you are the stars that shine
you are the reason why
you left my life in disarray
you left my heart in unspeakable pain
you left my soul an unquenchable flame
you left me here for another name
one day you'll wake up lonely and find that you were wrong
to throw away the love that was so strong
one day you'll reach out only to end with empty arms
and have to face the night so long, alone

I met her on a sunday
I let her the following tuesday
wednesday night I tried to telephone
a man's voice said she isn't home
thursday rolls around and I'm alone again
I saw her at the grocery store
I thought that she might like some more
I arrived at our meeting place
but I never laid eyes on her face
thursday comes around and I'm alone again
thursday I'm alone, alone again
thursday I'm alone, alone again

come on

come on, where you going to
I said come on, where you going to
she drove away in your cadillac
and she ain't comin' back
so come on, where you going to
hey now, whatcha knowin'
I said hey now, is it showin'
your colors turn to grey
'cause she is gone to stay
so come on, where you going to
you can see it in her eyes
and you can hear it in her sighs
she doesn't mean to be unkind, it's just
you're not the one that she had hoped to find
come on, where you going to
I said come on, where you going to
she drove away in your cadillac
and you know she ain't comin' back
so come on, where you going to
come on, I said come on

I want to say to the downstairs lady
I want to say to the downstairs lady
she must look cute
in a birthday suit
she look nice but her friend look shady
she look nice but her friend look shady
can't say what's on my mind
she says you waste my time
I want to say to the downstairs lady
I want to say to the downstairs lady
you sure look good to me
got me crying out lordy lordy
downstairs lady, don't you run
we could have a lot of fun, just you
just you and me
downstairs lady, don't you fret
I'm gonna win you yet, you'll see
it'll be just you and me
I want to say to the downstairs lady
I want to say to the downstairs lady
you must look cute
in a birthday suit
I want to say to the downstairs lady
I want to say to the downstairs lady

I would love to go walking
in the rain
with you
I would share my umbrella with you
if it rained
'cause I can see us walking
hand in hand
I would love to hold your little hand
in mine
