Chant Down Babylon - Bob Marley & The Wailers

I thought we had a place, just our place Our home base, my headspace Was you and I always But that phase has been phased in our place I see it on your face, a small trace A blank slate, we've been erased But if we're way too faded to drive You can stay one more night We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go You wanted to go higher, higher, higher Burn too bright, now the fire's gone Watch it all fall down: Babylon Babylon Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down I'm tired of the feud, your short fuse My half-truths are not amused I wish we had a clue to start new A white moon, no residue The color of our mood is so rude, a cold June We're not immune But if we're way too faded to fight You can stay one more night We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go You wanted to go higher, higher, higher Burn too bright, now the fire's gone Watch it all fall down: Babylon Babylon Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go You wanted to go higher, higher, higher Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down We said we'd both love harder than we knew we could go But still the hardest part is knowing when to let go You wanted to go higher, higher, higher Burn too bright, now the fire's gone Watch it all fall down: Babylon Babylon Burn too bright, now the fire's gone, watch it all fall down
