"Soundog Babylon" lyrics

"Soundog Babylon"

Something got me sinking in the bathtub
Thinking how to figure you out
Trying to figure out a way
How to open your mouth
When the monologue's cut
When the comfort of silence
Kind of scares it back shut

Something got me talking
(Got me talk, talk, talking)
Something got me talking
(Got me talking about you, and)
Something got me talking
Got me talk, talk, talking
Got me talking 'bout you, somebody like you

Honey you'd be mad to sit it out
Is it your silence making you lonely?
Or is your loneliness making you silent?
Sonny, are you thinking anything?
You might change your way of thinking
If we could only get you talking
Why don't you speak? (Speak you fucker!)

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on

Something got me asking myself
Why you get so uptight?
Why you bottle up the feelings
You've been feeling 'til it doesn't feel right?
'Til it makes you feel small
'Til your faith in mankind
Is inclined to be minimal

Something got me talking
(Got me talk, talk, talking)
Something got me talking
(Got me talking about you, and)
Something got me talking
Got me talk, talk, talking
'Bout someone like you, somebody like you

Honey you'd be mad to sit it out
Is it your silence making you lonely?
Or is your loneliness making you silent?
Sonny, are you thinking anything?
You might change your way of thinking
If we could only get you talking
Why don't you speak? (Speak you fucker!)

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on and on

Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
Soundog Babylon, keeping it on and on
