The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar |
| [00:03.78] |
|
| [00:11.40] |
Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement, |
| [00:14.95] |
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent |
| [00:19.60] |
Felt around for the light switch, became nauseated. |
| [00:24.03] |
She was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated. |
| [00:28.04] |
|
| [00:29.13] |
East of the jordan, hard as the rock of gibraltar, |
| [00:37.11] |
I see the burning of the page, curtain risin' on a new age, |
| [00:42.98] |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar. |
| [00:44.78] |
|
| [00:56.03] |
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery, |
| [01:00.10] |
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery, |
| [01:04.55] |
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me |
| [01:09.62] |
About the madness of becomin' what one was never meant to be. |
| [01:13.72] |
|
| [01:15.60] |
West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar, |
| [01:22.26] |
I see the burning of the stage, |
| [01:25.07] |
Curtain risin' on a new age, |
| [01:28.83] |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar. |
| [01:30.51] |
|
| [01:43.76] |
Don't know what i can say about claudette that wouldn't come back to haunt me, |
| [01:45.49] |
Finally had to give her up 'bout the time she began to want me. |
| [01:48.91] |
But i know god has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated. |
| [01:57.32] |
I'd a-done anything for that woman if she didn't make me feel so obligated. |
| [01:58.43] |
|
| [01:58.94] |
West of the jordan, west of the rock of gibraltar, |
| [02:06.89] |
I see the burning of the cage, |
| [02:08.71] |
Curtain risin' on a new stage, |
| [02:11.18] |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar. |
| [02:14.34] |
|
| [02:26.79] |
Put your hand on my head, baby, do i have a temperature? |
| [02:29.11] |
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture. |
| [02:33.71] |
There's a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it, |
| [02:37.94] |
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won't have the power to |
| [02:41.48] |
Keep it. |
| [02:42.35] |
|
| [02:42.89] |
West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar, |
| [02:49.37] |
I see the burning of the stage, curtain risin' on a new age, |
| [02:59.11] |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar. |
| [03:01.38] |
|
| [03:14.70] |
Cities on fire, phones out of order, |
| [03:15.04] |
They're killing nuns and soldiers, there's fighting on the border. |
| [03:17.53] |
What can i say about claudette? |
| [03:20.07] |
Ain't seen her since january, |
| [03:22.42] |
She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in buenos aires. |
| [03:26.06] |
|
| [03:27.30] |
West of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar, |
| [03:35.27] |
I see the burning of the stage, |
| [03:37.67] |
Curtain risin' on a new age, |
| [03:40.13] |
See the groom still waitin' at the altar. |
