[Verse 1]
We only have the weekend
You can serve it to me, ancient-city style
We can party like it's B.C.
With a pretty sixteenth-century smile
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring
Him, you and me
That's gossip
[Chorus]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon (Battle for your life)
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
[Verse 2]
Bodies moving like a sculpture (Ooh)
On the top of Tower of Babel tonight
We are climbing up to Heaven (Heaven)
Speak in languages in a BloodPop® moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the thing that you bring
That you bring, that you bring
Him, you, and me
That's gossip (That's gossip)
[Chorus]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon (Battle for your life)
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Gossip, gossip
Ba-Ba-Babylon
Battle for your life, Babylon
[Chorus]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
[Outro]
Strut it out, walk a mile
Serve it, ancient-city style
Talk it out, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
That's gossip, what you on?
Money don't talk, rip that song
Gossip, babble on
Battle for your life, Babylon
Speaking with Zane Lowe in an interview for Beats 1, Gaga said:
On this album, we did “Babylon,” a song about gossip, something that had dominated my life, that made me feel so small and chained. Now I wear chains and I wear them with pride. I feel free.

She told Spotify:
This is the dance celebration of the culmination of this album, but it’s really the start that occurs after every finish. When we’ve completed a task or defeated a challenge, the end is not the end. This is a new journey, and in Chromatica I will dance my way through all the pain,...
