Bye Bye Babylon Songtext
von Bryan Scary & the Shredding Tears

In the gallery of the wunderkind
Sits the candy girl trying to learn her lines
Needs another way to Nirvana and soon
Caught the latest craze, wore a painted daze
All the stars came out to her twist and pout
But a perfect pitch always goes out of tune

This is a message from Dr. Blue
"Won′t you put me in and take apart the blues in you?"
Whoa-whoa (get yourself turned on)
Whoa-whoa (it's a Babylon), so they say

Bye-bye Babylon, my friend
You were just another tramline to the end
See you later, alligator
Again and again ′til the train comes 'round the bend
Bye-bye Babylon, today
I got a feeling that I simply got to get away
さよなら, old euphoria
Gonna fill my soul with the morning glory haze
Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye (whoo)


Cosmic apathy, anesthetic eyes
Not the kind of thing we can get behind
And a blushing veil doesn't look so divine
′Cause the bittersweet will only rot your teeth
And a microscope is a magazine
You can shoot a star but you can′t make it shine

Ours is the shoulder to listen to
We've been waiting in the wings to get a message through
Whoa-whoa (get yourself turned on)
Whoa-whoa (it′s a Babylon), so they say

Bye-bye Babylon, my friend
You were just another tramline to the end
See you later, alligator
Again and again 'til the train comes ′round the bend
Bye-bye Babylon, today
I got a feeling that I simply got to get away
さよなら, old euphoria
Gonna fill my soul with the morning glory haze
Bye-bye-bye-bye-bye-bye


You made a devil deal and signed the papers, now you're
Playing cards with the money makers
But everybody′s such a lady hater
Oh, you're gonna show them all
You took the bait and let them tow the aura, and now you're
Dancing dumb with the dinosaur-a
Down at the funhouse playing old Pandora
Ya bang on the drunken drum

Bye-bye Babylon, my friend
You were just another tramline to the end
See you later, alligator
Again and again ′til the train comes ′round the bend
Bye-bye Babylon, today
I got a feeling that I simply got to get away
さよなら, old euphoria
Gonna fill my soul with the morning glory haze
