Babylon - Edwin McCain

Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up

I’m a drowning man for the third time

Twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy

Preparing my body for a burial at sea

So put your tongue in my ear

Through this veil of tears

Whisper what’s gone wrong?

gone wrong?

The world, the world she’s a Babylon

Coming in from the coast it’s a bad nor’easter

Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance

Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets

The pride of man is so contentious

This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific

I’m bailing ice water up to my neck

Titanic’s captain said that God couldn’t sink her

You might say he learned a healthy respect
