Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Dec. 11, 2013]

Oh well the sky was black, the moon was proud
I wandered lonely as a crowd
I wandered lonely and forlorn
It was 1000 miles to the dawn

Something out there gonna make you feel good
You get your head something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

And the summer sank and rose again
We were well into the age of man
We were well into the Valium
Then forget, only guess when

Something out there gonna make you feel good
You get your head something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

Something out there gonna make you feel good
You get your head something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

On with naivety and primed with dirt
I look like a ponce in my glowing shirt
I look like a villain from a pantomime
And for the time being I was being in time

Something out there gonna make you feel good
Get your head something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

Yeah now Anna Narchy flew back to Sweden
Somewhere north and east of Eden
Somewhere there's a snake in a tree
Eating an apple, waiting for me

Something out there gonna make you feel good
You get your head to something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

Sooner or later everybody kills me
This is the story of Steven Kilbey
This is the ballad of Dante's Inferno
Gimme a rip, gimme a burn, oh

Something out there gonna make you feel good
You get your head to something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

Oh well the moon was black, the sky was green
I wandered amongst the people unseen
I wandered around the cracks and the pictures they paint
Everybody here knows I ain't no saint

Something out there's gonna make you feel good
Get your head to something if you only could
Something out there gonna make you feel fine
Everybody drinkin' Babylonian wine

Something out there gonna make you feel good
Something out there gonna make you feel good
