Lyrics

Babylon Was Built On Fire/Starsnostars

Back to other lyrics

Babylon was built on fire
And the bones of useless machines
It hurt to breathe
You fell away from me

Packs of helicopters divide
Across a crowded sky
What angels did you ride
As I staggered at your side

First voice:

Citizens in their homes
And missiles in their holes
And citizens in their homes

Second voice:

The brightest night
I ever saw,
Across
An empty parking lot
No stars

Third voice:

This highway needs rain across
Both of its lanes until
All that remains is
This heart and its flames
And the rumble of trains
'Neath a handful of stars

Notes
Some verses that they usually add in live versions :

I had a dream
A terrible dream

Bombs were falling
And you were far away from me

And the woods where we sought shelter
Were already burning

Sparks lifted by the wind
Hoping and twirling

And in the hollow sky, one thousend pidgeons cried
And I could not reach you
And the whole world died

But oh the beauty of those slender aching trees
And the birds so sweetly weeping
Behind those perfect leaves
And the flames upon the water
So gently trembeling

And this nightmare like a lovesong
That was between you and me.
