Tower Of Babel

Elton John · Captain Fantastic [2004]

Snow, cement, and ivory young towers

Someone called us Babylon

Those hungry hunters tracking down the hours



But where all your shoulders when we cried

Were the darlings on the sideline

Dreaming up such cherished lies

To whisper in your ear before you die



It's party time for the guys in the Tower of Babel

Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel

Have a ball, ya'll

See the letches crawl with the call girls under the table

Watch 'em dig their graves

Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the Tower of Babel

Watch 'em dig their graves

Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the Tower of Babel

No, no, no



Junk, angel, this closet's always stacked

The dealer's in the basement

Filling you prescription for a brand new heart attack



But where all your shoulders when we cried

Were the doctors in attendance

Saying how they felt so sick inside

Or was it just the scalpel blade that lied



It's party time for the guys in the Tower of Babel

Sodom meet Gomorrah, Cain meet Abel

Have a ball, ya'll

See the letches crawl with the call girls under the table

Watch 'em dig their graves

Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the Tower of Babel

Watch 'em dig their graves

Cause Jesus don't save the guys in the Tower of Babel

No, no, no



(Repeat)
