From:
Well I´m down here in the well
Looking back up at the hill
Well I thank heavens I fell
Must look more
like myself
Now everyone is so kind
Everyone looks like
a long lost friend of mine
I´m on top of the world again
When I´m looking
up from under Babylon
I had a home in the fields
Earned my wage in the factories there
And I was raised by the mill
And I worked with my brothers there
I told my mother I´d always write
I headed west for the coast
with the big city lights
Now mamma I´m so sorry I´ve forgotten
But now I´m looking
up from under Babylon
Now tell me how far I´ve been
And how deep was I in
Tell me how I conceived
The vanity to believe
That I would not be outnumbered
By the thumbs I have been under
Now stray dogs in the street
Learn how to beg, steal, borrow and cheat
And in the dead summer heat
I fell asleep with blood on my teeth
But those days before I met you girl
Were just ice cream falling down
on the shoes of my world
I´m so happy that you´re my friend
When we´re looking
up from under Babylon
When we´re looking
up from under Babylon
