The first song is a bookend to the album, Addressing his many fears that come with being famous, very sarcastically calls them fun times
[Verse 1]
Fun times in Babylon
That's what I'm counting on
Before the dam goes up at the foot of the sea
Before the New Wing of the Prison Ribbon Ceremony
Before the Star of the Morning comes looking for me
[Chorus]
I would like to abuse my lungs
Smoke everything in sight with every girl I've ever loved
Ride around the wreckage on a horse knee-deep in blood
Look out, Hollywood, here I come
[Verse 2]
Fun times in Babylon
Mama, they've just begun
Before they put me to work in a government camp
Before they do my face up like a corpse and say, "Get up and dance"
Before the Beast comes looking for last year's rent
[Chorus]
I would like to abuse my lungs
Smoke everything in sight with every girl I've ever loved
Ride around my wreckage on a horse knee-deep in blood
Look out, Hollywood, here I come
[Outro]
Look out, Hollywood, here I come
Look out, Hollywood, here I come
