The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar [Alternate Version[00:00:00]

Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement[00:00:12]

Heard the last moan of a boxer [00:00:16]

Seen the massacre of the innocent[00:00:18]

Felt around for the light switch [00:00:20]

Became nauseated[00:00:23]

She was walking down the hallway[00:00:25]

While the walls deteriorated[00:00:27]

East of the Jordan hard as the Rock of Gibraltar[00:00:29]

I see the burning of the page[00:00:37]

Curtain risin' on a new age[00:00:39]

See the groom still waitin' at the altar[00:00:42]

Try to be pure at heart [00:00:55]

They arrest you for robbery[00:00:57]

Mistake your shyness for aloofness [00:00:59]

Your shyness for snobbery[00:01:01]

Got the message this morning [00:01:03]

The one that was sent to me[00:01:05]

About the madness of becomin'[00:01:07]

What one was never meant to be[00:01:09]

West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar[00:01:12]

I see the burning of the stage[00:01:20]

Curtain risin' on a new age[00:01:23]

See the groom still waitin' at the altar[00:01:24]

Don't know what I can say about Claudette[00:01:38]

That wouldn't come back to haunt me[00:01:40]

Finally had to give her up[00:01:42]

'Bout the time she began to want me[00:01:44]

But I know God has mercy on them[00:01:46]

Who are slandered and humiliated[00:01:48]

I'd a done anything for that woman[00:01:51]

If she didn't make me feel so obligated[00:01:53]

West of the Jordan west of the Rock of Gibraltar[00:01:55]

I see the burning of the cage[00:02:03]

Curtain risin' on a new stage[00:02:05]

See the groom still waitin' at the altar[00:02:08]

Put your hand on my head baby[00:02:21]

Do I have a temperature [00:02:24]

I see people who are supposed to know better[00:02:25]

Standin' around like furniture[00:02:27]

There's a wall between you and[00:02:29]

What you want[00:02:31]

And you got to leap it [00:02:32]

Tonight you got the power to take it[00:02:34]

Tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it[00:02:36]

West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar[00:02:38]

I see the burning of the stage[00:02:46]

Curtain risin' on a new age[00:02:49]

See the groom still waitin' at the altar[00:02:51]

Cities on fire phones out of order[00:03:05]

They're killing nuns and soldiers [00:03:08]

There's fighting on the border[00:03:10]

What can I say about Claudette [00:03:12]

Ain't seen her since January[00:03:15]

She could be respectably married[00:03:17]

Or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires[00:03:19]

West of the Jordan west of the Rock of Gibraltar[00:03:21]

I see the burning of the stage[00:03:29]

Curtain risin' on a new age[00:03:32]

See the groom still waitin' at the altar[00:03:34]
