Babylon

First time I came to Babylon

I felt so lonely,

I felt so lonely and people came along

to mistreat me

calling me so many, many names in the streets

and I was so shy

that I began to cry.

 

But now

I am so proud

of whatever should be

cause I have a silver knife

and my lover is Satan’s wife

and I don’t care

if you don’t dare see.

Yes, I don’t care

if you don’t dare see.
