{{lyrics|Nails to the quick
{{lyrics|Oh, Babylon, Babylon!
Daddy died and liars lie
Spill the secrets
A bit more than sick
And then you'll tell me
A dash in bittersweet
When this is over
What's that make of me
Overdone and over-out
Save a lost thing
 
No choice but a choice to leave
Folded papers
Those saints at labor love but fall
In Babylon
Babylon bombs


Can't you make me believe
There's thrush in the flue
Up where the others dare
Come here mighty Orcus
What chance have I
And swing that cue
What chances we would fight in love's affair
Yeah
A 21st-century schism
On a 21st-century loom of red, white and blue


Swear mornings changed
Heavens to Betsy
And I will lie where you lie
There is a place for a street named "Disgrace"
Say you're with shame
Six-six-cicada
Then drop to your knees
Six-six-cicada
Maybe then you'll feast what's worth sight
House on a hill for a street named "Disgrace"
You'll dream what I dream at night
I'm awakened
As one not one nor sum of hazy grace
I'm awakened
I'm awake


As a Janus exclaims
Yes, I'm no fake
Don't you flee
In a Babylon, Babylon groove, boy
Don't but stray far
There's thrush in the flue
You can never leave this stage
Come here mighty Orcus
It's not just me
And swing 'round that cue
It's about you here in heart
Yeah
For there's your need
There's thrush in the flue
See rock shows near New York City
Come here mighty Orcus
Get tickets as low as $40
Sing 21st-century gloom

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Oh, Babylon, Babylon!
Spill the secrets
And then you'll tell me
When this is over
Overdone and over-out

Folded papers
Those saints at labor love but fall
In Babylon
Babylon bombs

There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
And swing that cue
Yeah
A 21st-century schism
On a 21st-century loom of red, white and blue

Heavens to Betsy
There is a place for a street named "Disgrace"
Six-six-cicada
Six-six-cicada
House on a hill for a street named "Disgrace"
I'm awakened
I'm awakened
I'm awake

Yes, I'm no fake
In a Babylon, Babylon groove, boy
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
And swing 'round that cue
Yeah
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
Sing 21st-century gloom

Oh, Babylon, Babylon!
(They fear) I'm awakened
(They fear) I'm awakened

This world may be over
But when I'm with you
There's no place to hide

Yes, I'm no fake
In a Babylon. Babylon groove, boy
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
And swing that cue
Yeah
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
Sing a 21st century

Heavens to Betsy
There is a place for a street named "Disgrace"
Six-six-cicada
Six-six-cicada
House on a hill for a street named "Disgrace"
