Lyrics:

Forever, you'll be remembered as the one who played it coolWhenever they speak your name they'll say it's you who broke the golden ruleBut here's what I really want to knowDid you see the writing on the wallChorus:BabylonHow long can this foolish magic carry onBabylonWho will love you when the fantasy of youth is goneBabylon is it true that your streets were paved with goldAnd did you play beneath the starsBabylon did you know it would all come down toHow you played the dealer's cardsRemember how you loved the laughterA kingdom on the riseCrys in the night would turn you to songAnd when they call ooh you sang alongHere's what I really want to knowDid you see the writing on the wallBabylonHow long will this foolish magic carry onBabylonWho will love you when the fantasy of youth is goneBabylon is it true that your streets were paved with goldAnd did you play beneath the starsBabylon did you know it would all come down toHow you played the dealer's cardsIt's over you rate two pages in some bookYour legacyLost in the night and still you sing your songFor those who will take heedHere's what I really want to knowDid you see the writing on the wallBabylonHow long will this foolish magic carry onBabylonWho will love you when the fantasy of youth is goneBabylon is it true that your streets were paved with goldAnd did you play beneath the starsBabylon did you know it would all come down toHow you played the dealer's cards...
