Panic In Babylon - Lee "Scratch" Perry & Subatomic Sound System

The night dies in the morning And hell is gone at dawn He sent no bible warning Forsaken and forlorn The night was wild Black magic has its price Remember me? You'll meet the devil twice In the morning when I wake No more souls are left to take And I wonder why I'm here The sun is up, it's almost nine And I'm standing in a sign I feel a slowly rising fear In a circle did I sleep? Had I blasphemies to keep? The scent of sulphur in the air Hail, hail pentagram Hail, hail pentagram Goddammit, what have I done? Panic Panic in the pentagram Panic Satanism ain't no fun Oh, panic in the pentagram Oh, panic in the pentagram I count my cash, it's six six six Enough to cross the river Styx I pay to Cerberos the fare On the altar I could dance Put your soul in deadly trance But I better should beware Hail, hail pentagram Hail, hail pentagram Goddammit, what have I done? Panic Panic in the pentagram Panic Satanism ain't no fun Oh, panic in the pentagram Oh, panic in the pentagram Panic Panic in the pentagram Panic Satanism ain't no fun Oh, panic in the pentagram Oh, panic in the pentagram

Back to the place where we used to say "Man, it feels good to feel this way" Now I know what I mean Back to the street, back to the place Back to the room where it all began, hey Back to the room where it all began 'Cause it's nine in the afternoon Your eyes are the size of the moon You could 'cause you can, so you do We're feeling so good just the way that we do When it's nine in the afternoon Your eyes are the size of the moon You could 'cause you can, so you do We're feeling so good just the way that we do When it's nine in the afternoon Your eyes are the size of the moon You could 'cause you can, so you do We're feeling so good just the way that we do When it's nine in the afternoon

There is no quidance in your kingdom Your wicked walk in Babylon There is no wisdom to your freedom The richest man in babylon Your beggars sleep outside your doorway Your prophets leave to wonder on You fall asleep at night with worry The saddest man in Babylon The wicked stench of exploitation Hangs in the air and lingers on Beneath the praise and admiration The weakest man in Babylon There is no hope left in your kingdom Your servants have burned all their songs Nobody here remembers freedom The richest man in Babylon Si la lou babylon go 'dain Babylon gon' be rich again But to we don' sick again But no we no weak again Babyloooon on on on on Sal la lou ca uba whoa Si la douba douba do wa bay Do douba douba do wa bay Si la loo babylon come 'round You better know you better understand 'Fact you know you better hear what they say Babylon this is your final day Babylon this is your final call Read the writin' it's on the wall Said United we stand And together we fall And if I know that You're not 'gon catch me in a rat pack We not go fallin' on your death trap No way...
