Bishop Of Babel Lyrics - Singles - Fatima Mansions

no one comes from here 

and so i'm not afraid 

everyone's the same as me 

we don't talk the same 

so we don't talk at all 

and our hosts just look on with glee 

i'm the bishop of babel now 

so it's low, yes it's low you must bow 

though my flock may sneer and mock 

i'm the bishop of babel now 

you'll see me in the street 

in golden hat and cape 

and blessing all the waifs and strays 

in the hail and shine 

smiling, resigned 

and abandoned to foolish ways 

for i'm the bishop of babel now 

as even stray dogs will allow 

the poor folks flock 

around and remark 

look, the bishop of babel's down 

oh i'm the bishop of babel now 

and my audience don't count in this town 

if relic and flock 

here set to rot 

i'm the bishop of babel now 

sad old bishop of babel now
