Avalon Babylon

When I wake up
Late in the morning
After a beer or two
Thoughts in my head are like
Hurricane weather
But not after a toke or two
Everyday I tell myself
“Things are getting better”
While the sign at the crossroad said
“You can’t go back ever”
So... I’m gonna’ sing my-song
Now or never

Avalon or is it Babylon?
Where have we gone?
Avalon or Babylon?
Far too gone

Interest-men
Waltzing down Wall Street
Trying to cut a deal
With The Devil and his minions
Hey! Everybody gotta’ get their fill
Meanwhile outside
There’s been a break in the weather
But the sign at the crossroad said
“You cannot turn back ever, son”
That’s why I’m singing this song
Now or never

Avalon or Babylon?
Where have we gone?
Avalon, Babylon?
Far too gone

Lord can you save?
My conscious betrays me
Lord can you save me?
Lord can you save?
My conscious betrays me
Lord can you save me?

So now when I wake up
Still too late in the morning
I look in the rearview
I see The Man riding
On tornado weather
He’s coming for me and for you
I’ve always thought
That things were getting better
But The Devil is at the Crossroads
In uproarious laughter
So I’ve gotta’ sing my prayer
Now or never

Avalon, Babylon?
Where have we gone?
Avalon or is it Babylon?
Far too gone
Avalon, Babylon? Avalon
Avalon! Babylon?
Far too gone
