The Swirling Eddies - Mystery Babylon lyrics

She's got a giant head We've got the hat to fit it She'll take us all to bed What she wants, she can get it Have you heard about the girl The prettiest in the world Have you heard about the girl Named Mystery Babylon She wears her gold and pearls And sits upon the water And every boy and girl Is drinking her elixir Have you heard about the girl The wonder of the world Everybody wants a date With Mystery Babylon In scarlet, fine raiment (gla** of wine held high) The harlot seeks payment So lay us down to die There's fear now in her eyes I guess she knows what's comin' They'll say she once was wise So beautiful, so cunnin' Have you heard about the girl The prettiest in the world Have you heard about the girl Named Mystery Babylon Everybody wants a date with Mystery Babylon
