Foreign Nights (Working Dog In Babylon)

(for Jenny)

I'm a working alien in a land of heat and stone a casulaty of an economic war that took me away from home.

It's the politics of money and power

It's the hope that we can build a future in world getting smaller everywhere

Bridge: I can hear a siren in the workyard another shift and

I'll be closer to you

I'm a working dog in

Babylon and only your love can get me through

Chorus: Foreign nights -- took you away from me

Foreign nights -- are not where

I belong Foreign nights -- filled with dust and dreams

Foreign nights -- trapped me in

Babylon AS long as

I keep moving

I know I will be all right cause if

I stop to think

I'll drown and sink in the sea of foreign nights

I've got to keep my hands busy got to keep pushing through got to learn to deal with this time away from you

Bridge: I can hear a siren in the workyard another shift and

I'll be closer to you

I'm a working dog in

Babylon and only your love can get me through

Chorus....

Quiet moments in the dark are hardest to face the sun goes down but not the pain

I want to be with you all the time

I want to be with you, to be with you all my life

I'm going to have to get through... foreign nights.
