lyrics

I want to build something
could be a mouse trap
or a tree house
deep in the out back
I want to draw the plans
and apostolate
with a big white chalk
on a blank slate
.....ah, ah...in Babylon
there in Babylon

I want to screen write
about a thought I stole
twenty gigabyte
through a needle hole
that gets kidnapped
by the undertow
at a hot night spot
called the 'Camel Toe'
.....ah, ah...in Babylon
there in Babylon

I want to say something
that no one's ever heard
that would echo on
through out the universe
and would circle back
into the foreign press
where they'd paraphrase
to my worthiness
.....ah, ah...in Babylon
there in Babylon

I want to write a song
with a tribal beat
from Logo-Blocks
of pure irony
that would shape the Earth
into a hexagon
just one good verse
oh and I'd move on
.....ah, ah...in Babylon
there in Babylon

I want to build a world
in miniature
where half a foot
is a hemisphere
where I'd anoint
three Spirit-Kings
so I'd have time
to build other things
.....ah, ah...in Babylon
there in Babylon
