Contemporary folk-rock, reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel, Evanescense, Metallica and Tonic. Two tempos - 80 and 100 - kinda clumsily transitioned.

Songwriter specializing in modern rock, country, easy listening and pop music.
I'm a songwriter with a wide variety of influences. I am currently seeking a publisher for one or more of my songs. Though I focus on commercially viable Country/Rock and Adult Contemporary, my wide range of infuences ensures that on any given CD of my work, there's something for all tastes in music.

Lyrics
“Ghosts of Babylon” Capers Simmons VERSE I Two A.M. on a homicide street, with a suicide girl with a platinum streak in her hair ‘Cause she don’t care Chi-town steel on a sixty-five; cold chrome wheels spinning overdrive – sirens wail, Red lights glare. PRECHORUS I Say you will go down on this ship for me. Say you won’t: say you’ll save yourself and go free Say your Savior’s sorry, but he will be late. Save your breath: trade for time. We will sing while we wait. CHORUS I Sing a song for the ghosts of Babylon Haunt this city with the sound of tomorrows gone Fight forever with every breath you take Take your time as you die; we will sing while we wait VERSE II Precinct Five of the thin blue line, with a bullet-time mind on the Fourth of July – freedom rings Jailbirds sing. Chi-town’s finest with a Krispy Kreme bag, a pistol in his pocket and a bulletproof badge on his heart Types the report. PRECHORUS II Say you’ll wait outside this cemetery. Say you’ll pray for the penitent, the President and me Hey, my Savior’s here, but just a little too late. He wants to save the world, But he will have to wait. ~ CHORUS I ~ PRECHOURS III Say you’re sorry like you mean it, like you didn’t mean this. Say you’ll stay ‘til I’m free – say you’ll deal with it Say you’ll pray all night and day while you’re falling away Inside the arms of another. Say you’ll sing while you wait. CHORUS II Sing a song for the ghosts of Babylon All the souls, He says, to Him they belong Lets them loose, lets them die, lets them choose their pain So let’s be safe: let us pray we won’t have to wait. ~ CHORUS I ~
