Sheryl Crow - Shine Over Babylon lyrics

[Sheryl Crow - Shine Over Babylon lyrics]

I walked the heat of seven hills
Endless talk of losin' wills
Great highways in a constant melt
Men and women and children all have overbuilt
Buyin' bread and payin' for none
Creatures of a waning sun
Teachers' hands are overrun
Clowns and gypsies all but gone

You make me wanna shine over Babylon
You make me wanna shine over Babylon

Freedoms etched on sacred pillars
Hollow stones of mindless filler
Can lead to madman oil drillers
It won't be long before we all are killers
Little boy lost way up the mountains
Cities drowning under boilin' fountains
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days
I was trembling in a golden haze



You make me wanna shine over Babylon
You make me wanna shine over Babylon

We celebrate the golden cow
Praise the bloated bank account
If there's a god, where is he now?
The precipice is slipping further out
Sanskrit message from the mounts
Leave your possession, hope abounds
There's nothin' here for you to cry about
We're all just followers from here on out

I take the stage, I walk the planks
I sing these songs with little thanks
I wait for shouts from crazy cranks
I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks
I found my way to Alexandria
Where gurus bubble up on ganja
Scavengers, they run up and hand ya
All the junk that should have damned ya

You make me wanna shine over Babylon
You make me wanna shine over Babylon

If everything in life was free
We'd float in our own reverie
The things that you could never see
Seal the gap between you and me

You make me wanna shine over Babylon
You make me wanna shine over Babylon
You make me wanna shine over Babylon
You make me wanna shine over Babylon
