Babel Babel Lyrics - Singles - Blood Ruby

Shuttled through narrow gaps, 

All these walls line our trap. 

Brick and steel, glass, concrete, 

No more field and no more tree. 

Babel Babel rising 

Cleaves the air. 

Babel Babel winding 

Climbs the stair. 

Baby baby, listen, 

Can't you hear? 

Babble babble 

Is the language here. 

Windows stack ladder lines; 

In between, the gutters climb. 

Edges cut, corners meet; 

Angles tear at the angel's wings. 

High above checkered streets 

Pitch the roof at the peak. 

Pigeon coo, patch of blue, 

Pinhole sun in a penthouse room. 

Babel Babel 

Rising cleaves the air. 

Babel Babel 

Winding climbs the stair. 

Baby baby, listen, 

Can't you hear? 

Babble babble 

Braying in my ears. 

Higher still, raise the cranes; 

Lift us up beyond our fate. 

Kiss the mouth of heaven's bell 

From the pinnacles of hell. 

One more floor, two more feet; 

Always just out of reach. 

One more brick, almost there; 

Vanish in the thinning air. 

Babel Babel 

Rising cleaves the air. 

Babel Babel 

Winding climbs the stair. 

Baby baby, listen, 

Can't you hear? 

Babble babble 

Fills the atmosphere. 

Babel Babel 

Rising cleaves the air. 

Babel Babel 

Winding climbs the stair. 

Baby baby, listen, 

Can't you hear? 

Babble babble 

Echoes everywhere.
