New York Dolls - Babylon lyrics

When I woke up this mornin

Boys I was gone

My girlfreind 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) Babylon

(Cus it's too much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back

I gotta get back, I get down to Babylon

(Im goin to Babylon)

I was drivin ou tonite

And boys I was gone

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 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 cant look back

I gotta get back, I get down

I gotta get around to Babylon

Let's go to Babylon boys

Two girls for every boy

Well a Babylon girl aint got no past

The Babylon girl gots to 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) Babylon

(Havin to much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back

I gotta get back, I get down

I wont be safe, child nobodys safe til theyre in Babylon

(I'm goin to Babylon)

Shes been massagin all day but shes thinkin 'bout you daddy

Thinkin bout you daddy til they all go away

And when she up there dancin shes just tryin make a buck

Tryin make some money gonna give you all a look

(I'm from) Babylon

(I gotta get away, to) Babylon

(I can't stay) Babylon

(Havin too much fun) Babylon

(I'm from) Babylon

(I gotta get away, to) Babylon

(I can't stay) Babylon

(Havin too too too much fun) Babylon

I gotta run, I cant look back

I gotta get back, I get down

I wont be safe, I wont be free, til I hit Babylon

(I'm goin to Babylon
