Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till the beat will turn you on (back to Babylon)
Don't stop to dance
Till your heart is beating strong (back to Babylon)
Oh, I'll take you high
And I'll turn you on
And the beating is beating to Babylon
Can't you hear the drums
And the beat is beating to Babylon
Oh, put the needle on the record
Put your soul down to me
In the lonely nights be my love
Be the queen of misery
I keep you a secret, I keep emotion
I keep it deep down in my heart
I keep a promise and all devotion
Oh, come play your part
Oh, if you want my love, I promise
I don't like to sleep alone
We have breakfast done in Paris
We have dinnered just in Rome
I keep you a secret, I keep emotion
I keep it deep down in my heart
I keep a promise and all devotion
And I play my part

The road I walk is paved in gold
To glorify my platinum soul
I'll buy my way to talk to god
So he can live with what I'm not
the selfish blood runs through my veins
I gave up everything for fame
I am the lie that you adore
I feed the rich and f*** the poor
I got, what you want
It's just, don't stop
I got, what you want
It's just, don't stop
this is entertainment
Lies are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more
the road I walk is paved in gold
To glorify my platinum soul
I am the closest thing to god
So worship me and never stop
the rested blood runs through my veins
I gave up everything for fame
I am the lie that you adore
I feed the rich, f*** the poor
I got, what you want
It's just, don't stop
I got, what you want
It's just, don't stop
this is entertainment
Lies are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more
Dear future,
I bought you
I own the rights
to let go
Destroy you
This is my life
Dear future,
I bought you
I own the rights
to let go
Destroy you
This is my life...inside
I got, what you want
It's just, don't stop
I got, what you want
It's just, don't stop
this is entertainment
Lies are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more
Begging me for more
Begging me for more
(I got, you want
It's just, don't stop
I got, you want
It's just, don't stop)

Reminding people in 2020 that this was years ahead of its time.

In my case, I finally caught up with it.
@lisazoria2709
How so is it ahead of it's time? As if the media landscape hasn't always been a corporate sellout nightmare? Do you think the stars of the past were any more "real" than the ones of today? The entertainment industry has always been using and abusing people, manipulating audiences, creating and controlling an ideal image which is unattainable. There's a reason Marilyn Monroe killed herself. Hollywood leaves people feeling like hollow shells of themselves. It is and has always been a dark, depraved and cutthroat world. They're selling lies and delusions because there will always be an audience for that as long as they keep the masses sufficiently miserable. They want us to think the stars have it all, but really they're just meat puppets who're being packaged and sold as something they're not, inside they're just as empty and lost as the rest of us.
@sorcerykid
Uh not really, plenty of industrial bands were creating music exactly like this (if not better) for years before this: Orgy, Flesh Field, Battery Cage, Mindless Self Indulgence, etc.
