[Verse 1: Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens]
Out on the street, the real heads
Trying to keep it low
Saw you move to the beat and I was blown away
That's all you need to know
Maybe I mistook pure distraction
For a flash of love
[Chorus: Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens, Both]
I wanna clear the air by Monday
If all the tanks are gone
And when it settles down, I wonder
If I'll like what we've done
You know we just started
We’re proud-hearted like fish in the lobby
Dead and gone, dancing in Babylon
[Verse 2: Andrew VanWyngarden & Christine and the Queens]
Two ships in the night
Quietly signaling from the bow
Don't you miss feeling like you could run away
And nobody had to know?
When your time is up, call the captain
Tell him to let mе off
[Chorus: Andrew VanWyngarden & Christine and the Queens]
Don't rush me
I don't wanna be thinking about this stuff
You hurt me and I run to you
Is that thе big idea?
You know we just started
We're proud-hearted like fish in the lobby
Dead and gone, dancing in Babylon
[Bridge: Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens, Both]
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you"
I wanna touch the scars and break the chains
That hold you
But I won't start
'Til the sun dips down
[Outro: Both, Andrew VanWyngarden, Christine and the Queens]
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you"
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you"
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (Dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (Dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (We're dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you" (Dancing in Babylon)
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you, I do"
I wanna tell everyone I know
"I love you, I love you, I love you"
"I love you, I love you" (I wanna tell everyone I know)
"I love you, I love you, I love you"
