lyrics

Babylon, you great city

Verse 1:
You were everything I’d hoped to find
Giving me feelings I couldn’t hide
Oooh sent my heart racing grand prix style
From the first gesture of desire I found
That my heart said "yes" without no doubt
Oooh sent my head spinning like a yo-yo

Chorus 1:
Sweet poison, that’s what I call it
Dark desire and treachery
Sweet poison, that’s what you gave me
Decadent and deadly as sin

Decadent and deadly as sin
Dark desire and treachery

Verse 2:
See, for a girl like me it was too much
Game playing in ways that were too high
Oooh I was never ready for that game
So deeply in I lost my way
Caught up in your spider web
Oooh oh didn’t know love was meant to be so dark

Chorus 2:
Sweet poison, that’s what I call it
Dark desire and treachery
Sweet poison, that’s what you gave me
Decadent and deadly as sin

Oh dark desire and treachery
Decadent and deadly as sin

This is my life and what I love to do... ... more
