Lyrics
BABYLON
THERE'S A PARTY GOING ON ALL AROUND THE WORLD
EVERY MAN AND WOMAN, BOY AND GIRL
EVERYBODY'S MOVING TO A ONE WORLD BEAT
DANCING IN THE 21ST CENTURY
AHH, YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR TONIGHT
FLYING COAST TO COAST BY SATELLITE
AHH, THE RHYTHM'S LIGHTING UP THE NIGHT
WE'RE GONNA PARTY 'TIL WE'RE OUT OF TIME
YES THE PARTY'S JUST BEGUN
SO DON'T BLOW UP MY BABYLON
HAVING TOO MUCH FUN IN THE WESTERN WORLD
JUST BEING MYSELF WITH MY WESTERN GIRL
POLITICIANS SINGING NURSERY RHYMES
PREACHERS PREACHING THE END OF TIME
IT DON'T MATTER WHAT SIDE OF THE STREET YOU'RE ON
IF YOU'RE ON MY BLOCK GONNA PARTY 'TIL DAWN
AHH, YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR TONIGHT
FLYING COAST TO COAST BY SATELLITE
AHH, THE RHYTHM'S LIGHTING UP THE NIGHT
SO IF IT'S A CASE OF DO OR DIE
YES, THE PARTY'S JUST BEGUN
SO DON'T BLOW UP MY BABYLON
HAVING TOO MUCH FUN IN THE WESTERN WORLD
JUST BEING MYSELF WITH MY WESTERN GIRL
AND IF THE SKIES WERE TO FALL
YOU CAN BE SURE THAT WE'VE SAID IT ALL
AND IF THE STARS FAIL TO SHINE
YOU CAN BE SURE THAT WE HAD US A TIME
YES, THE PARTY'S JUST BEGUN
SO DON'T BLOW UP MY BABYLON
HAVING TOO MUCH FUN IN THE WESTERN WORLD
JUST BEING MYSELF WITH MY WESTERN GIRL
