Lyrics The Mountain Goats

The Mountain Goats

Sail Babylon Springs

But meanwhile downstairs, I'm setting up shop

A little too proud to let the matter drop

And I can hear you up there

Isn't it romantic?

You're huffing and puffing rearranging

Deck chairs on the titanic

And I reach for a glass of cool water drawn

From the rivers of babylon

And meanwhile outside, the stars have come out

And the humid summer air pulls at the ring in my snout

And you stand at your window looking down

And I spread wide my arms

Jump if you want to jump, jump if you want to

The water's warm

I know

I know 'cause I've been swimming

Blindly along through the rivers of babylon
