Babel Babel lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Babel Babel lyrics Shuttled through narrow gaps, All these walls line our trap. Brick and steel, glass, concrete, No more field and no more tree. Babel Babel rising Cleaves the air. Babel Babel winding Climbs the stair. Baby baby, listen, Can t you hear? Babble babble Is the language here. Windows stack ladder lines; In between, the gutters climb. Edges cut, corners meet; Angles tear at the angel s wings. High above checkered streets Pitch the roof at the peak. Pigeon coo, patch of blue, Pinhole sun in a penthouse room. Babel Babel Rising cleaves the air. Babel Babel Winding climbs the stair. Baby baby, listen, Can t you hear? Babble babble Braying in my ears. Higher still, raise the cranes; Lift us up beyond our fate. Kiss the mouth of heaven s bell From the pinnacles of hell. One more floor, two more feet; Always just out of reach. One more brick, almost there; Vanish in the thinning air. Babel Babel Rising cleaves the air. Babel Babel Winding climbs the stair. Baby baby, listen, Can t you hear? Babble babble Fills the atmosphere. Babel Babel Rising cleaves the air. Babel Babel Winding climbs the stair. Baby baby, listen, Can t you hear? Babble babble Echoes everywhere. song lyrics
