Massive Attack - Babel

Say it was your babel
Say it was my babel
It was my babel
Tell all people

Now you know it's over, rolling off her shoulder
You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget
Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you
Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing, breaking, Hating till you lost it all
When she was your girlfriend, she was not going
Where you were going, you were on your own

He was quick to burning, he was slow to learning
Though inside you're misted he still kissed her when she cried
And did your best to please her, you're getting up and leave her
You befriended the harsh way and it ended now sleep tight

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing, gracing
Breaking, hating till you lost it all
