Babylon Lyrics - Lost In America - Edwin Mccain

Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up 

I'm a drowning man for the third time 

Twenty-one gun salute in your flag of mercy 

Preparing my body for a burial at sea 

[Chorus] 

So put your tongue in my ear 

Through this veil of tears 

Whisper what's gone wrong? gone wrong? 

The world, the world she's a Babylon 

Coming in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter 

Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance 

Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets 

The pride of man is so contentious 

[Chorus] 

This is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific 

I'm bailing ice water up to my neck 

Titanic's captain said that God couldn't sink her 

You might say he learned a healthy respect 

[Chorus]
