Rock And Roll Babylon

All those Elvis records circling the earth



I think I've said four times over



Were you present at the birth?



Twinkle, twinkle, little star



How we wonder what you are



Spin a web of dreams



And die for us on a cross of pills



Your not too dumb to see



A manager of schools of thought



Parasites who scheme



I'm writing up the holocaust



Of all those broken dreams



Rock & roll Babylon on the brink



Gives a little slap come on, wink



To beckon the stars down from the sky



Rock & roll Babylon on the brink



Gives a little slap come on, wink



To beckon the stars down from the sky



Can you hear me lady diamond



In your home from home?



When your mommy calls you in



Are you oblivious to the throne?



That the farm's reserved for you



The effigy's in stone



We loved you lady diamond



Though we lost you in the zone



Tightrope walker



Take all our chances for us



Tightrope walker



Take all our chances for us



Oh, come on and be a tightrope walker



Take all our chances for us



Tightrope walker



Take all our chances



Who killed Johny Moondog



Was the assassin you and me?



To oversell the antidote



Or is it down to Jack and Jerry Lee?



If you bite a chunk out of the moon



Will it help you see?
