Babylon Blues Lyrics - Man Overboard - Ian Hunter

Take a look at yourself baby - take a look at yourself - 

Take a look at yourself 

You ain't exactly a picture of health 

In your finest hour - at the height o'your power - 

Everything's gone sour 

Your ivory tower morphed into a cell 

Confidence shattered, mad as a hatter - what's the matter with you? 

Don't try pulling me down to your level - 

Ain't nothing worse than a phony-assed rebel 

You do what you want to but leave me out o'this 

You're tangled up in Babylon blues

You a yellowin' book - got a amethyst skin - 

You been taken in by the paradise 

Feeding off your adrenalin 

You gotta fight without - you gotta fight within - 

You gotta flat-out swim 

That ominious current that's sweeping you in 

Meals on wheels? Sympathy? What d'ya want from me? 

There's a big black cloud hangin' over your head - 

Looks like silver but it's heavy as lead 

You do what you want to but leave me out o'this 

You're tangled up in Babylon blues 

Say you gonna quit - that's the end of it - 

But the peaces don't fit - what am I stupid? 

I don't buy it 

Just another blind beggar on the road to fame - 

With a messed up body and a messed up brain 

I don't buy it

It's a cynical world - it's a bad old world - 

It's a sinister world babe 

You get what you want an' your still miserable 

At the terminal gate - at the terminal gate - 

At the terminal gate 

You better back off before it's too late 

I remember when you opened your mouth an' 

Everything freaked at what come out 

When I'm gone - remember that 

You can't take the alley outta some o' these cats 

You do what you want to but leave me out o'this 

You're tangled up in Babylon blues
