Well I'm down here in the well
  Looking back up at the hill
  Well I thank heavens I fell
  Must look more
  like myself
  Now everyone is so kind
  Everyone looks like
  a long lost friend of mine
  I'm on top of the world again
  When I'm looking
  up from under Babylon
  
  I had a home in the fields
  Earned my wage in the factories there
  And I was raised by the mill
  And I worked with my brothers there
  I told my mother I'd always write
  I headed west for the coast
  with the big city lights
  Now mamma I'm so sorry I've forgotten
  But now I'm looking
  up from under Babylon
  
  Now tell me how far I've been
  And how deep was I in
  Tell me how I conceived
  The vanity to believe
  That I would not be outnumbered
  By the thumbs I have been under
  
  Now stray dogs in the street
  Learn how to beg, steal, borrow and cheat
  And in the dead summer heat
  I fell asleep with blood on my teeth
  
  But those days before I met you girl
  Were just ice cream falling down
  on the shoes of my world
  I'm so happy that you're my friend
  When we're looking
  up from under Babylon
  
  When we're looking
  up from under Babylon
