Babylon (Early Version) Lyrics

[Intro]
(Oh, dancist)
(Oh, dancist)

[Chorus]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life in Babylon

[Verse 1]
We only have the weekend (Uh-huh)
You can serve it to me, ancient-city style (Ha, ha)
We can party like it's B.C. (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
With a pretty sixteenth-century smile

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring (Ha, ha)
Him, you, and me
What should shape a King or Queen? (Ha, ha, ha)
It's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring (Ha, ha)
Him, you, and me
That's gossip (Ha, ha, ha)
[Chorus]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life in Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life in Babylon

[Post-Chorus]
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon (C'mon!)
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon (C'mon!)
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon

[Verse 2]
Bodies moving like a sculpture (Uh-huh)
On the top of Tower of Babel tonight
We are climbing up to Heaven (Uh-huh)
Speak in languages in a BloodPop® moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring (Ha, ha)
Him, you, and me
What should shape a King or Queen? (Ha, ha, ha)
It's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring (Ha, ha)
Him, you, and me
That's gossip (Ha, ha, ha)

[Chorus]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life in Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life in Babylon

[Bridge]
My ears are burning up, you sure like to talk a lot
I heard about all the things you said (Babble on)
Your ears are burning up, talk is cheap but costs a lot
I heard about all the things you said (Babble on)
That's gossip

[Post-Chorus]
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon (C'mon!)
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon (C'mon!)
That's gossip
Ba-Babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
