Take a look at yourself babe, take a look at yourself Take a look at yourself babe You ain't exactly a picture of health In your finest hour at the height of your power Everything's gone sour Your ivory tower morphed into a cell
Confidence shattered, mad as a hatter, What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter with you? Don't try pulling me down to your level Ain't nothing worst than a phony-assed rebel You do what you want to but leave me out o' this You're tangled up in the Babylon blues
You a yellowin' book, got an amethyst skin, you been taken in by the parasites Feeding off your adrenalin You gotta fight without, you gotta fight within, you gotta flat-out swim That ominous current that's sweeping you in
Meals on wheels? Sympathy? What d'ya want, What d'ya want, What d'ya want, What d'ya want from me? There's a big black cloud hangin' over your head Looks like silver but it's heavy as lead You do what you want to but leave me out o' this You're tangled up in the Babylon blues
Say you gonna quit, that's the end of it, but the pieces don't fit, what am I stupid? I don't buy it, I don't buy it Just another blind beggar on the road to fame With a messed up body and a messed up brain, I don't buy it I don't buy it I don't buy it I don't buy it I don't buy it
It's a cynical world, babe, it's a bad old world, it's a sinister world babe You get what you want an' you're still miserable At the terminal gate, at the terminal gate, at the terminal gate You better back off before it's too late An' I remember when you opened your mouth an' Everybody freeaked at what came out When I'm gone, remember that You can't take the alley outta none o' those cats
You do what you want to but leave me out o' this You're tangled up in the Babylon bluesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
