Techno Babylon

from The Bottommost Rung by A Scene from JAWS

lyrics

[Verse 1]
And so the Music died
A silent sigh
Our hearts sunk to the bed of the river

[Chorus]
A long time ago
In Techno Babylon

[Verse 2]
We heard the river surge
A swell of sound
Until a wave emerged
We raised our voices loud
And swore an oath to serve eternity in song
Our hearts raced with the beat of the current
That swept us along
It swept us along, along

[Chorus]
A long time ago
In Techno Babylon

[Middle 8]
In the fleeting image of a sunken world
The reflected view of a tungsten heaven
As long as the river flows
The beat goes on forever
In Techno Babylon

[Chorus]
A long time ago
In Techno Babylon
