歌曲歌詞
Take a look at yourself baby
Take a look at yourself
Take a look at yourself
You ain't exactly a picture of health
In your finest hour –
At the height o'your power
Everything's gone sour
Your ivory tower morphed into a cell
Confidence shattered mad as a hatter
What's the matter
What's the matter
What's the matter with you yeah
Don't try pulling me down to your level –
Ain't nothing worse than a phony-assed rebel
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
You a yellowin' book – got a amethyst skin –
You been taken in by the paradise
Feeding off your adrenalin
You gotta fight without
You gotta fight within
You gotta flat-out swim
That ominious current that's sweeping you in
Meals on wheels Sympathy
What d'ya What d'ya
What d'ya
What d'ya want from me
There's a big black cloud hangin' over your head –
Looks like silver but it's heavy as lead
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
Say you gonna quit – that's the end of it
But the peaces don't fit – what am I stupid
I don't buy it
I don't buy it
Just another blind beggar on the road to fame
With a messed up body and a messed up brain
I don't buy it
I don't buy it
I don't buy it
I don't buy it
I don't buy it
It's a cynical world – it's a bad old world
It's a sinister world babe
You get what you want an' your still miserable
At the terminal gate – at the terminal gate
At the terminal gate
You better back off before it's too late
I remember when you opened your mouth an'
Everything freaked at what come out
When I'm gone – remember that
You can't take the alley outta some o' these cats
You do what you want to but leave me out o'this
You're tangled up in Babylon blues
