Well sweetness, I love it when you wrap me up
I'm a drowning man for the third time
Twenty one gun salute in your flag of mercy
Preparing my body for a burial at sea, yeahSo put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears
Whisper, what's gone wrong, gone wrong
Gone wrong, gone wrong?
The world, the world, the world she's a BabylonComing in from the coast it's a bad nor'easter
Waves banging rocks with migraine vengeance
Build up the tower, unlocking the secrets
The pride of man is so contentiousSo put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears
Whisper, what's gone wrong, gone wrong
Gone wrong, gone wrong?
The world, the world, the world she's a BabylonThis is no pleasure cruise in the South Pacific
I'm bailing ice water up to my neck
The Titanic's captain said, that God couldn't sink her
You might say he learned a healthy respectSo put your tongue in my ear
Through this veil of tears
Whisper, what's gone wrong, gone wrong
Gone wrong, gone wrong?
The world, the world, the world she's a Babylon
