A Taxi To Babylon

A Taxi To Babylon

I open my eyes to another hotel room
They all start to look the same
Hot shower, black coffee, gray suit
I check my ID so I know my name

I take a taxi to Babylon
Bearing gifts for the Beast
I dance inside the devil's delight
Drink the rich wine of the feast

All the finest failings of our flesh
We indulge them in our pleasures
All the senses we caress
And call the memories treasures

I open my eyes to another hotel room
They all start to look the same
Hot shower, black coffee, gray suit
I check my ID so I know my name

Every instrument is finely tuned
The orchestra plays with a madness
Born from those darkest dreams
They draw a picture in emptiness

Everything we see casts a shadow
That flickers at the edge of sight
The forms of the finest decadence
That bind us with the darkest light

I open my eyes to another hotel room
They all start to look the same
Hot shower, black coffee, gray suit
I check my ID so I know my name

I take a taxi to Babylon
Bearing gifts for the Beast
I dance inside the devil's delight
Drink the rich wine of the feast

I open my eyes to another hotel room
They all start to look the same
Hot shower, black cofee, gray suit
I check my ID so I know my name
