Marooned in Babylon, Thrill seekers on the run We’re hiding from the sun tonight My madness is set free, I dream of sorcery Bring all your sins to me tonight
The airships cross the sky in silent queues, They fly their messages high to ‘Read the Daily News’ And nothing here is certain, And nothing is the truth A peep behind the curtain will rob you of your truth
Turn on the video We’ll watch the late, late show, It’s all the rage you know, tonight Kiss me and load my gun Go put your nylons on I’ll have you as they run tonight
The airships cross the sky in silent queues I shoot them as they fly, there’s nothing else to do And nothing here is certain, and nothing is the truth A peep behind the curtain Will rob you of your youth
Orphans of Babylon We are the chosen ones We’ll do what no-ones’ done, tonight So kiss the truth goodbye, We thrive upon your lies We’ve got no alibis’ tonight We’ve got no alibis’ tonight We’ve got no alibis’ tonight
