Shine Over Babylon (Album Version)

[00:02.11] I walked the heat of seven hills
[00:06.13] Endless talk of losin' wills
[00:10.13] Great highways in a constant melt
[00:14.33] Men and women and children, all have overbuilt
[00:18.32] Buyin' bread and payin' for none
[00:22.35] Creatures of a waning sun
[00:26.18] Teachers' hands are overrun
[00:30.01] Clowns and gypsies, all but gone
[00:32.49] You make me wanna
[00:34.68] Shine over Babylon
[00:40.45] You make me wanna
[00:42.54] Shine over Babylon
[00:50.10] Freedoms etched on sacred pillars
[00:54.04] Hollow stones on mindless filler
[00:57.71] Can lead to madman oil drillers
[01:01.90] It won't be long before we all are killers
[01:06.06] Little boy lost way up the mountains
[01:10.02] Cities drowning under boilin' fountains
[01:13.73] I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
[01:17.74] I was trembling in a golden haze
[01:20.28] You make me wanna
[01:22.34] Shine over Babylon
[01:28.28] You make me wanna
[01:30.35] Shine over Babylon
[01:37.65] We celebrate the golden cow (golden cow)
[01:41.90] Praise the bloated bank account
[01:45.80] If there's a god, where is he now?
[01:49.55] The precipice is slipping further out
[01:53.64] Sanskrit message from the mounts
[01:57.51] Leave your possession hope abounds
[02:01.54] There's nothin' here for you to cry about
[02:05.56] We're all just followers from here on out
[02:09.66] I take the stage, I walk the planks
[02:13.45] I sing these songs with little thanks
[02:17.50] I wait for shouts from crazy cranks
[02:21.46] I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks
[02:25.40] I found my way to Alexandria
[02:29.40] Where gurus bubble up on ganja
[02:33.57] Scavengers, they run up and hand ya
[02:37.28] All the junk that should have damned ya
[02:39.88] You make me wanna
[02:41.93] Shine over Babylon
[02:47.82] You make me wanna
[02:49.88] Shine over Babylon
[02:58.55]
[03:14.07] If everything in life was free
[03:17.54] We'd float in our own reverie
[03:21.77] The things that you can't seem to see
[03:24.92] Seal the gap between you and me
[03:27.57] You make me wanna
[03:29.68] Shine over Babylon
[03:35.47] You make me wanna
[03:37.76] Shine over Babylon
[03:43.44] You make me wanna
[03:45.65] Shine over Babylon
[03:51.41] You make me wanna
[03:53.58] Shine over Babylon
[04:00.95]
