The Smashing Pumpkins
War Dreams of Itself

[Intro]
Oh, Babylon, Babylon!

[Verse 1]
Spill the secrets
And then you'll tell me
When this is over
Overdone and over-out
Folded papers
Those saints at labor love
But fall in Babylon Babylon bombs
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
And swing that cue, yeah
A 21st-century schism
On a 21st-century loom
Of red, white and blue

[Chorus]
Heavens to Betsy
There is a place for a street named "Disgrace"
Six-six-cicada
Six-six-cicada
House on a hill for a street named "Disgrace"

[Refrain]
I'm awakened
I'm awakened
I'm awake
[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm no fake
In a Babylon, Babylon groove, boy
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
And swing 'round that cue, yeah
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
Sing 21st-century gloom

[Intro reprise]
Oh, Babylon, Babylon!

[Refrain]
(They fear) I'm awakened
(They fear) I'm awakened

[Bridge]
This world may be over
But when I'm with you
There's no place to hide

[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm no fake
In a Babylon. Babylon groove, boy
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
And swing that cue, yeah
There's thrush in the flue
Come here mighty Orcus
Sing a 21st century
[Chorus]
Heavens to Betsy
There is a place for a street named "Disgrace"
Six-six-cicada
Six-six-cicada
House on a hill for a street named "Disgrace"
