Lyrics

Come on, boys

Well, when I woke up this mornin', boys, I was gone
My girlfriend asked me where do I come from
Put my face up in the mirror just to clock my wheres
First thing I know, I gotta get outta here

On back to Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
So I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too much fun in Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back
I gotta get back, I get down to Babylon
I'm goin to Babylon

I was just drivin' out tonight, boys, and I was gone
When the coppers asked me where do I come from
One looks at my cards, one checks my ID
With this junk on my face it's so easy to see

I'm from Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
I can't stay, Babylon
Havin' too much fun, Babylon

I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I gotta get down
I gotta get around to Babylon

Let's go to Babylon, boys
Two girls for every boy

Well, a Babylon girl ain't got no past
The Babylon girls gotta talk so fast
The Babylon men gonna be a boy
With the Babylon girl out lookin for a joy

In Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
Beggin' I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' to much fun in Babylon

I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I get down
I won't be safe, child, nobody's safe 'til they're in Babylon
I'm goin' to burn that Babylon

She's been massagin' all day but she's thinkin' 'bout you daddy
And thinkin' 'bout you daddy 'til they all go away
And when she up there dancin', she's just tryin' make a buck
Tryin' make some buck quick, gonna give you all a look

Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
Beggin' I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' to much fun in Babylon
I gotta run

Babylon
I gotta get away to Babylon
Beggin' I can't stay, 'cause in Babylon
Havin' too-too-too much fun in Babylon

I gotta run, I can't look back
I gotta get back, I get down
I won't be safe, child, you haven't been freed 'til you hit Babylon
I'm goin' to Babylon
