Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar lyrics

Prayed in the ghetto
With my face in the cement
Heard the last moan of a boxer
Seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch
Became nauseated
She was walking down the hallway
While the walls deteriorated

West of Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the page
Curtain rising on a new age
See the groom still waiting at the altar

Try to be pure at heart
They arrest you for robbery
Mistake your shyness for aloofness
Your shyness for snobbery
Got the message this morning
The one that was sent to me
About the madness of becoming
What one was never meant to be

West of Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the stage
Curtain rising on a new age
See the groom still waiting at the altar

Don't know what I can say about Claudette
That wouldn't come back to haunt me
Finally had to give her up about the time she began to want me
But I know god has mercy on them
Who are slandered and humiliated
I'd a-done anything for that woman
If she didn't make me feel so obligated

West of Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the cage
Curtain rising on a new age
See the groom still waiting at the altar

Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I see people who are supposed to know better
Standing around like furniture
There's a wall between you
And what you want and you got to leap through it
Tonight you got the power to take it
Tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it

West of Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I see the burning of the stage
Curtain rising on a new age
See the groom still waiting at the altar,
Cities on fire, phones out of order
They're killing nuns and soldiers
There's fighting on the border
What about Claudette?
Ain't seen her since January
She could be respectfully marrie
Or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires

West of Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar
I saw the burning of the cage
Curtain rising on a new age
See the groom still waiting at the altar
