Babs and Babs Lyrics

Lyric discussion by runtfan52 

Cover art for Babs and Babs lyrics by Daryl Hall

They are siamese twins. simple. "Arm in arm,head to hed,Bab's and Bab's". One still dreams,the others a bitch who tries controlling her."Look out on the lawn there,theres a moon out tonight(moon out tonight, 2 times)"Can't you see"? "You're silver dreams don't move me, or your talk of the sky, and this isn't the time,to make a fool of me".

My Interpretation

They don't necessarily need to be siamese twins. They could be two sides of the same person, one side dreamy, one side cold and logical. "Arm in arm, head to head" might not be literal, you know.

According to Daryl Hall this song is about the left and right sides of the brain. See Live from Daryl's House Episode 38 with Guster as the guest band.
