Paroles de Rivers Of Babylon

meanwhile downstairs

i'm setting up shop

a little too proud
to let the matter drop



i can you see you up there,

isn't it romantic?

you're huffing and puffing

their chairs on the titanic

and i reach for a glass

of cool water drawn from the rivers of babylon.



meanwhile outside,
tugs at the ring in my snout.

and you come to the window,

and i spread wide my arms.

jump if you want to jump.

jump if you want to.

the water's warm.

me, i know.

i know 'cause i've been swimming.

blindly along through the rivers of babylon.
