Foreign Nights working Dog In Babylon Lyrics

    (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.
