Massive Attack – Babel Lyrics 10 years ago
Say it was your babel
Said it was my babel
It was my babel
Tell your people

Now you know it's over
Rollin off her shoulder
You can take a lighter to the shadows and forget
Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you
Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, bracing
Breaking, hating til you lost it all
[Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing
Bracing, breaking, til you lost it all]
Well you lost your girlfriend, she was not knowing
Where you were going, you are on your own

He was quick to burnin
He was slow to learnin
Though his eyes were misted
He still kissed her when she cried
You did your best to please
You didn't up and leave her
You befriended the harsh way it ended
Now sleep tight

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing
Bracing, breaking, if you lost it all
Was it all your good
Reachin into it
That lead you to me
I would have craved the love

[Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing
Bracing, breaking, til you lost it all
Well she did say to see
She led you to me
We'd better to be
We crave love]

I wanna be the one that shoots the truth of my death
I'm running so far out of my head
This strain of heart that ripples my day
You can not ever say what thinking way
