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
