lyrics

Jezebel is dancin' on the head of a king
Nebuchadnezzar is laughin' at the bottom of a drink
and so Jezebel the little harlot queen dances on the river Euphrates
and nymphs the men into poets the kings into queens, the nuns into harlots, and priests into thieves and the philistines are dancin' with Jezebel the nun, in the hangin' gardens of Babylon...
David he is dreaming of the visions on the teeth of the head of a lion he has fallen asleep, & the river it is dried up and the soldiers marching on
to the fall of babylon.
and so Jezebel with her poets, thieves and her queen marches on with her harlots to the head of the king, Darius who's falling from his throne to her feet & offers to her his ring.
she takes me into his chambers and kisses me
I will run after thee! in praise to her, singing this song
in the hangin' gardens of Babylon!

your love is better than wine..
that i will remember, your love is surely better
your love is much better than wine!
