Foreign Nights (working Dog In Babylon) Lyrics - Singles - Clegg Johnny

(for Jenny) 

I'm a working alien in a land of heat and stone 

a casulaty of an economic war 

that took me away from home. 

It's the politics of money and power 

It's the hope that we can build a future in world 

getting smaller everywhere 

Bridge: 

I can hear a siren in the workyard 

another shift and I'll be closer to you 

I'm a working dog in Babylon and only 

your love can get me through 

Chorus: 

Foreign nights -- took you away from me 

Foreign nights -- are not where I belong 

Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams 

Foreign nights -- trapped me in Babylon 

AS long as I keep moving 

I know I will be all right 

cause if I stop to think I'll drown and sink 

in the sea of foreign nights 

I've got to keep my hands busy 

got to keep pushing through 

got to learn to deal with this time away from you 

Bridge: 

I can hear a siren in the workyard 

another shift and I'll be closer to you 

I'm a working dog in Babylon and only 

your love can get me through 

Chorus.... 

Quiet moments in the dark are hardest to face 

the sun goes down but not the pain 

I want to be with you all the time 

I want to be with you, to be with you all my life 

I'm going to have to get through... foreign nights.
