My last job went wrong 'cos crime don't pay But then I got right down on my knees and prayed 'Cos I had a date with the law as time went on And they took me down in a train To Babylon
There in that place folks don't know what's going on Sometimes they fade and some forget where they came from And in the afternoon I feel the breeze How would I ever have known This would happen to me
Goodbye Babylon Goodbye Babylon Goodbye Babylon Good bye
Now my suitcase is packed and I'm moving on My life is waiting outside and I'm going home 'Cos I had a date with the law and time's gone on And I'm gonna take me a train From Babylon
Goodbye Babylon Now I'm moving on Goodbye Babylon I won't be back again Goodbye Babylon
