Lyrics:

Forever, you'll be remembered as the one who played it cool Whenever they speak your name they'll say it's you who broke the golden rule But here's what I really want to know Did you see the writing on the wall Chorus: Babylon How long can this foolish magic carry on Babylon Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold And did you play beneath the stars Babylon did you know it would all come down to How you played the dealer's cards Remember how you loved the laughter A kingdom on the rise Crys in the night would turn you to song And when they call ooh you sang along Here's what I really want to know Did you see the writing on the wall Babylon How long will this foolish magic carry on Babylon Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold And did you play beneath the stars Babylon did you know it would all come down to How you played the dealer's cards It's over you rate two pages in some book Your legacy Lost in the night and still you sing your song For those who will take heed Here's what I really want to know Did you see the writing on the wall Babylon How long will this foolish magic carry on Babylon Who will love you when the fantasy of youth is gone Babylon is it true that your streets were paved with gold And did you play beneath the stars Babylon did you know it would all come down to How you played the dealer's cards...
