I'm scared of flying
But I'd make an exception for you
Just to make my connection
I'm a complicated man
When life's out of my hands

Cause we're heading
For the new Babylon
Not everything under the sun
Has already been done
The new Babylon
Our own garden of Eden
Something to believe in
In the new Babylon
(New Babylon, new Babylon ooh)

I've sailed the ocean
And I've plumbed
To new depths for you
I saw a sign that said 'Jesus wept"
Cause there's no need for religion
In our hedonistic vision

Cause we're heading
For the new Babylon
Not everything under the sun
Has already been done
The new Babylon
Our own garden of Eden
There is no leaving
In the new Babylon
(New Babylon, new Babylon ooh)

When imagination comes true
Everything you dream
Could happen to you
What a time to exist
So why would you resist
The new Babylon?

I walked for hours
On my road to Damascus for you
I thought somebody would catch us
But I'm not concerned any more
As we explore

The new Babylon
Some things under the sun
Have never been done
The new Babylon
Our own garden of Eden
I'm a believer
In the new Babylon, new Babylon
The new Babylon
It was there all along
The new Babylon
