Night Drives In Babylon

Alright, you've gone off the deep end or I'm seeing double
If this is supposed to happen, then it looks like trouble
Ahead and behind and I realize
It'll never be the same again but maybe that's alright
If you seek it you might find another way to be alive
That's what the voices told me when I called asking in the night
Some of them were cold, some of them were wise
Some of them had answers, and the rest they told me lies

But it's a mystery
It's messing with my mind
Yeah and it's slippery
You know I'm gonna slide
From the beginning
And to the end of time
Well there's a history
It's leaving me behind

Deep in the mountains or deeper yet in the ocean
There lies the mouth of a dragon who speaks events into motion
He keeps his eyes and mouth open for he knows this is his purpose
To reawaken the focus of those that sleep at the surface and we sing
Come together we can keep this fire blazing
Live your life for everyday is an occasion
He leaves a spark and then he returns to the deep
For even when it all goes dark these are the lessons we keep

But it's a mystery
It's messing with my mind
Yeah and it's slippery
So I'm gonna slide
From the beginning
To the end of time
Well there's a history
It's leaving me behind

I don't wanna go I don't wanna be alone
That's exactly how you whined when I took pity on your soul
And I gave you all I had but you took even more
I fell down to the ground and you pushed me through the floor
But buried in the dirt I thought I found a quiet place
But still I could hear your voice was screaming "don't send me away"
I realized who you were and why you wouldn't leave
But stuck here in the dark theres still so much you haven't seen

It's a mystery
It's messing with my mind
Yeah and it's slippery
So I'm gonna slide
From the beginning
To the end of time
Well there's a history
It's leaving me behind

(Yeah its a mystery)
(It's messing with my mind)
(You know it's slippery)
(I'm gonna slide)
