So Long, Babylon!

from So Long, Babylon! (2020) by Blake Starkey

lyrics

In Babylon she cries in red
She pushes on although
She is dead
And the wine falls
From the fountains for us
In Babylon, there’s never enough

So Long Babylon!
Looks like I’ll be moving on
How sweet her sorrows go
The leaves they fall
The winds they blow

Babylon she screams for more
Outside of every shelter’s door
Babylon she spreads her thighs
To the riff raff
And the smoky skies

So Long Babylon!
Looks like I’ll be moving on
So Long Babylon!
Looks like I’ll be moving on

How sweet her sorrows go
The leaves they fall
The winds they blow

Juvenile faces
Mixed in the mud
How sweet our sorrows
How far we have come
And Babylon’s wept today
Has only begun
Tomorrow she’s on her feet
To only run
And mark well
The faces in the street
The priest and passerby
And everyone you meet
And we will love
Before we die
The tears we can show
In the place
Where she died

In Babylon she dies instead
She wails and weeps
The sky is red
And the water
Flows from mountains us
In Babylon there’s never enough

So Long Babylon!
Looks like I’ll be moving on

How sweet her sorrows go
The leaves they fall
The winds they blow
