lyrics

Eternal Babylon

Cars crowding these urban arteries
Barely any movement
More machine than human
I'm more machine than human
You can strip me of the city
Still remains my plight
I'm living life like a Vegas night

Like dice in a palm
Evening tossed -- then dawn
Shattered glass, cigarette ash
Eternal Babylon
Eternal Babylon, go on
Bet on my behavior
Knowing you'd be right
I'm living life like a Vegas
Night -- night -- night

You can blow your mind
(With a gun or a good time)
Amber waives the pain
(Pour me fields of grain)
You can play roulette
(Like there's no bullets left)
Leave behind your chamber
(Find a little bit of danger)
And ardor in your spine
Living life just like...

There's nothing poetic
(In dying an acetic)
Nothing more profane
(Than living to abstain)
Double zero by day
So I spin it at night
Make the most of
Coasting through this
Check out line

Life like a Vegas night...

This advertisement of my habits
Hang it on a neon sign
I'm living life like a Vegas night
