Paroles de Sail Babylon Springs

Now, meanwhile downstairs

I'm setting up shop

A little too proud
To let the matter drop

And I can hear you up there

Isn't it romantic?

You're huffing and puffing

Rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic

And I reach for a glass

Of cool water, drawn

From the rivers of Babylon



And meanwhile outside
Pulls at the ring in my snout

And you stand at your window, looking down

And I spread wide my arms

Jump if you want to jump

Jump if you want to

The water's warm

I know

I know, cos I've been swimming

Blindly along

Through the rivers of Babylon
