Baby Alone In Babylone
Jane Birkin
Baby Alone In Babylone
Baby by herself in Babylon
Drowned under the waves
of Pontiacs
of Cadillacs
of Bentley in L.A.
of Rolls Royce and Buicks
in the metallic night-
Baby by herself in Babylon
Drowned under the waves
of electric
rock 'n' roll music you're looking for a role
you're looking for the studios
and the traces of Monroe-
the glitz and the stress
gods and goddesses
of Los Angeles-
Baby by herself in Babylon
Drowned under the waves
of light
of dust
of ephemeral stars
you dream of eternity
alas you will find it-
Baby by herself in Babylon
Drowned under the waves
of your tears and the charm
of the Sunset Boulevard
it's the Sunset Boulevard
that winds through the dark-
Baby by herself in Babylon
Drowned under the waves
of Malibu
little unknown star
you only saw the star
of the federal police
