Babylon

When the bomb dropped without a sound His whole world came crashing down In the middle of the evening news And his mother she hit the wall God's watching TV tonight And he's locked up in his room Screaming shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up From the city of Babylon Came a sound only he could hear And it pierced through the silver sky Six strings of thunder he would hold And the spirit was on his side Ruled the world from the edge of his bed God's watching to see tonight Oh, I don't wanna be awake 'til the end of time I want to dream right through it all, oh Oh, I don't wanna be awake 'til the end of time I want to dream right through it all, oh It feels too much like real life And I'm going insane tonight Don't wait up I will be alright, tonight When the bomb dropped without a sound He was dreaming of dangerous days Hero of the underground And the power now he would hold As he vanished into the night Oh, I don't wanna be awake 'til the end of time I want to dream right through it all, oh Oh, I don't wanna be awake 'til the end of time I want to dream right through it all, oh Yes it's too much like real life And I'm going insane tonight Don't wait up I will be alright, tonight
