Rock And Roll Babylon Lyrics - Love And Rockets

All those Elvis records circling the earth 

I think I've said four times over 

Were you present at the birth? 

Twinkle, twinkle, little star 

How we wonder what you are 

Spin a web of dreams 

And die for us on a cross of pills 

Your not too dumb to see 

A manager of schools of thought 

Parasites who scheme 

I'm writing up the holocaust 

Of all those broken dreams 

Rock & roll Babylon on the brink 

Gives a little slap come on, wink 

To beckon the stars down from the sky 

Rock & roll Babylon on the brink 

Gives a little slap come on, wink 

To beckon the stars down from the sky 

Can you hear me lady diamond 

In your home from home? 

When your mommy calls you in 

Are you oblivious to the throne? 

That the farm's reserved for you 

The effigy's in stone 

We loved you lady diamond 

Though we lost you in the zone 

Tightrope walker 

Take all our chances for us 

Tightrope walker 

Take all our chances for us 

Oh, come on and be a tightrope walker 

Take all our chances for us 

Tightrope walker 

Take all our chances 

Who killed Johny Moondog 

Was the assassin you and me? 

To oversell the antidote 

Or is it down to Jack and Jerry Lee? 

If you bite a chunk out of the moon 

Will it help you see?
