Hanging Gardens

I find myself in states like these, states like these, states like these
Catatonia
And this is plain to see, plain to see
Patagonia
I dream of breaking free, breaking free
Catalonia
From the ground like the gardens in
Babylonia

And oh, I knew I had to leave
But I didn't know what you had up your sleeve
The Pyramid, the Temple and the Statue
Remind me of the times when I had you

Well, it's not what I was planning
From the beginning
I was swinging
And I left you hanging

Plot twist, like a helical screw, something
Archimedean
Bringing water to some messengers in
Desperate need of some
Because they're chasing me, chasing me
Running marathons
They want me hanging like the gardens in
Baba-Babylon

And oh, what a web that you weave
Even so, I'm so relieved to be relieved
The Pharos, Mausoleum and Colossus
Remind me that it's best to cut your losses

When it's not what you were planning
From the beginning
I was swinging
And I left you hanging
