Babel

Lyrics

[Intro: Martina Topley-Bird] Said it was our Babel Said it was my Babel It was my Babel Tell our people [Verse 1: Martina Topley-Bird] Now you know it's over Rolling off her shoulder You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget Was it how she kissed you And then dismissed you? Was it purposeful and Was it just to hook you in? [Chorus 1: Martina Topley-Bird] Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing Breaking, hating till you lost it all Well you lost your girlfriend She was not going Where you were going You were on your own [Verse 2: Martina Topley-Bird] He was quick to burning He was slow to learning Though his eyes were misted He still kissed her when she cried You did your best to please her You didn't up and leave her You befriended the harsh way it ended, now sleep tight [Chorus 2: Martina Topley-Bird] Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing Bracing, breaking if you was at all Was it all you [?] to it And lead you to me [I would have craved the love?] [Post-Chorus: Martina Topley-Bird] Gonna be the one that should've said "truth" and not "dare" I'm running so far out of my head This rain of heart that ripples my day [You never set about thinking, thinking awake?] [Instrumental]
