Chase Babylon Away (Ganjaville Riddim) - Alborosie

This isn't the first time We're running all of the red lights You were trying to get in my head I was trying to get in your bed Hold up now, just a second Back it up girl, where we're heading now? So before you change your mind just Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now I wasn't given a warning It's three o'clock in the morning Cause we've been circling all night long Keep repeating the same damn songs Staring out of the window Say the word and then we'll go To any place that you feel at home Cause I know that you feel alone Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me Run away, run away with me now, now

You can shape the dying day Into something better We can hold the ghosts at bay Build something together You can see the beauty in A dirty rain-lashed street Or a plan that goes nowhere You can make this town feel kind Though the buildings cry But you don't belong, don't belong You can chase the night away Guess I'm trying to say You heal me like the light of day You can keep me searching on You say, it won't be long 'Til all the pain you felt is gone It won't be long Sorry, I'm distracted by Things that you can't help with A loneliness you can't recognize Or know unless you've felt it Show me how to love again Let the branches bend Life's rolling on, rolling on You can chase the night away Guess I'm trying to say You heal me like the light of day You can keep me searching on You say, it won't be long 'Til all the pain you felt is gone It won't be long 'Til your mind stops reeling It won't be long 'Til regret surrenders It's old, and the scars start healing Falling off a cliff and still Wondering, where the ground has gone Something in your faith It keeps me searching on Searching on You can chase the night away Guess I'm trying to say You heal me like the light of day You can keep me searching on You say, it won't be long 'Til all the pain we felt is gone It won't be long Guess, I'm trying to say You heal me like the light of day You can keep me searching on You say, it won't be long 'Til all the pain you felt is gone It won't be long

Did I upset you Or let you down I know the wrong words Keep coming out And I don't mean them I know you know So don't believe them And let them go Something's got a hold on me I only want to be set free Forever And ever I cry another day And dream of my escape To break away Break away It gets so lonely My tears are real The world is turning And I am still There are no reasons To run and hide The change of seasons Keep passing by Something's got a hold on me I only want to be set free Forever And ever I cry another day And dream of my escape To break away Break away I cry another day And dream of my escape To break away Break away Letting go of all I know And trying to find my way I cry another day And dream of my escape To break away Break away I cry another day And dream of my escape To break away Break away

Inna the streets busy life is a chapper While you at you work you affi stay on the upper Those who disagreed choose the way of a Dapper Those who blend right in choose the book and the laptop Who have ears to hear listen to what mama said Sit down inna church and be quiet and pray You taking on the wrong pledge Your life not granted So your story echoes in my head What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be, never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free, never me So I dub thee unforgiven This is the story of a man I used to know He never listen to his dad an mama words He found shelter inna wrong place Friends with a screw face Then Killed by their wrong ways Justice no kind It's vision blind Forward with the sentence No judge can't rewind Rest indeed, yeah Rest in peace bro Rest in me What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be, never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free, never me So I dub thee unforgiven There's still place that once you called your own Not a war zone not a funeral home Silent, no more music, no sound Under the moonlight inna a Small town Guiltiness rest on their shoulder So for the wicked man, his days are numbered Rest indeed, yeah Rest in me What I've felt, I've known Never free, never me What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be, never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt, what I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free, never me
