Babel - Massive Attack

Say it was your babel

Say it was my babel

It was my babel

Tell all people

Now you know it’s over rolling off her shoulder

You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget

Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you

Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing

Breaking, hating till you lost it all

Where was your girlfriend, he was not your man

Where you were going, you’re on your own

He was quick to burning

He was slow to learning

Though inside your misty

He still kissed her when she cried

And did your best to please her

And then get up and leave her

You befriended the harsh way it ended now sleep tight…
