Babylon Lyrics – Taylor Swift (English)
The Casino Doesn’t Like,
When You Run The Tables..
And Though The Box,
Is Wrapped Up Nice.
It’s Just A Cage To You..
Those Electric Fences Buzz,
The Stallion Flees The Stable..
And That Small Towns,
Even Smaller Now In Your Rear View..
You Ran With,
All The Wild Things..
A Liberated,
Libertine Who Then Longed For Home.
Bcause It’s Where You’re From,
Aunt Virginia With A Church Dress On..
No Elbows On The Table..
And The Neighbor’s Lawn,
Always Looked Better..
Your Hand-me-down Sweater,
Should’ve Been From The Mall..
And You Hate This Song,
But You Wake Up On The Train..
With Your Headphones Gone,
Then That Melody Is All You Want..
You Never Knew That It Was,
Babylon..
Til It Was Gone..
Give The People What They Want,
Then You Keep It Moving..
Make Your Plans And Friends,
A Stranger’s Makeup On Your Tie..
Twenty Watches In The Safe,
Bcause Your Time Is Money..
Love Is Ice Upon The Ladder,
That You Need To Climb..
She Captured Your Attention,
So Free Of All Pretension..
It Stopped You Cold..
Because She Loved You So,
Pretty As A Picture That You Didn’t Post..
Looking At You Like You’re Made
Of Solid Gold..
Never Official
You Mention You’re Single To,
The Girls At The Bar.
And You Hate This Song,
But You Wake Up On The Train..
With Your Headphones Gone,
And Then That Melody Is All You Want..
You Never Knew That It Was,
Babylon..
Til It Was Gone..
You’re Using Nostalgia As A Weapon To Hurt Yourself,
But Darling, You End Up Hurting Everybody Else..
The Self-harm Of Never Being Where You Are,
It’s Bedtime, But You’re Sitting In Your Car..
You’re Missing All The Best Parts..
And They’re All At Home,
She’s Hanging Christmas Lights With Your Son..
Sneak Into The Bathroom To Call Her Mom,
And Say T’s Not Working..
It’s Just Not Worth It If We’re Not What He Wants..
But You Love This Song,
You Wake Up On The Train..
With Your Headphones Gone..
Then That Melody Is All You Want,
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon..
And Now, It’s Almost Gone..
Aunt Virginia With A Church Dress On,
No Elbows On The Table (It’s Almost Gone)..
And The Neighbor’s Lawn Always Looked Better,
Your Hand-me-down Sweater Should’ve Been From The Mall..
But You Love This Song,
You Wake Up On The Train And You’re All Alone..
Then That Memory Is All You Want,
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon..
Til It Was Gone..
