Babel Lyrics
Say it was your babel
Said it was my babel
It was my babel
Tell your people
Now you know it's over rolling 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, racing
Breaking, hating til you lost it all
[Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing
Bracing, breaking, til you lost it all]
Where was your girlfriend, she was not knowing
Where you were going, you're on your own
He was quick to burning
He was slow to learning
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
Well she did say to see
She led you to me
We'd better to be
We crave love]
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
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
Said it was my babel
It was my babel
Tell your people
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
Breaking, hating til you lost it all
[Hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing
Bracing, breaking, til you lost it all]
Where was your girlfriend, she was not knowing
Where you were going, you're on your own
He was slow to learning
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
Bracing, breaking, if you lost it all
Well she did say to see
She led you to me
We'd better to be
We crave love]
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
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

these lyrics are pretty close but there are some errors here, as i see (hear) it. it is definitely hard to get the correct lyrics just by listening to this track because martina's accent and vocal style. with that in mind, there's almost an entire verse - second to last one - that i cannot interpret. even watching so many live videos i have no idea what she is singing during that part. although if you listen closely you can tell that it's not really close to what is listed here..
say what's on paper said it was my babel it was my babel tell all people
now you know it's over rolling off her shoulder you can take a ladder 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, racing, breaking hating till 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 burning he was slow to learning though his eyes are misted he still kissed her when she cried and you did your best to please her you didn't up and leave her you befriended the harsh way it ended now sleep tight
hallucinating, chasing, changing, pacing, bracing breaking a few walls at all ?? was that all you're doing ?? ?? ?? ??
you wanna be the one that shoots that truth i'm not dead i'm running so far out of my head the sprain of heart that ripples my day you can never sail by thinking away
this is just my interpretation.. and some of the words can be heard other waya, even i hear different words sometimes (like 'ripples' for instance). and yeah, that one verse is really hard to understand so if anyone else knows wtf she is saying i'd like to know for sure!
I just listened to maybe a dozen live versions of that one spot where you have question marks because I really wanted to know. The words sound REALLY different from one performance to the next, and yes granted it's not always the same singer and their accent is a little heavy in places but still, this is what I could most closely hear as being possible lyrics.

He was quick to burning He was slow to learning Though his eyes were misted He still kissed her when she cried You did your best to replace her 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
I wanna be the one that should've said "You do not dare" I'm running so far out of my head This rain of heart that ripples my day Can never said what was thinking, wait Mmm...
I'm almost positive these are the correct lyrics.

I noticed some differences between the live version of the song and the recorded version. I put in brackets the changes to the song in the live version.
