Of war and peace the truth just twists [00:00:09]

Its curfew gull just glides [00:00:14]

Upon four legged forest clouds [00:00:21]

The cowboy angel rides [00:00:26]

With his candle lit into the sun [00:00:33]

Though its glow is waxed in black [00:00:38]

All except when neath the trees of Eden [00:00:45]

The lamppost stands with folded arms [00:00:55]

Its iron claws attached [00:00:59]

To curbs neath holes where babies wail [00:01:07]

Though it shadows metal badge [00:01:12]

All and all can only fall [00:01:19]

With a crashing but meaningless blow [00:01:24]

No sound ever comes from the gates of Eden [00:01:31]

The savage soldiers sticks his head in sand [00:01:41]

And then complains [00:01:47]

Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf [00:01:53]

But still remains [00:01:59]

Upon the beach where hound dogs bay [00:02:05]

At ships with tatooed sails [00:02:10]

Heading for the gates of Eden [00:02:18]

With a time rusted compass blade [00:02:27]

Alladin and his lamp [00:02:32]

Sits with Utopian hermit monks [00:02:39]

Side saddle on the golden calf [00:02:44]

And on their promises of paradise [00:02:51]

You will not hear a laugh [00:02:56]

All except inside the gates of Eden [00:03:04]

Relationships of ownership [00:03:13]

They whisper in the wings [00:03:18]

To those condemned to act accordingly [00:03:25]

And wait for succeeding kings [00:03:30]

And I will try to harmonize with songs [00:03:37]

The lonesome sparrow sings [00:03:42]

There are no kings inside the gates of Eden [00:03:49]

The motorcycle black madonna [00:03:59]

The two wheeled gypsy queen [00:04:03]

And her silver studded phantom cause [00:04:11]

The gray flannel dwarf to scream [00:04:15]

As he weeps to wicked birds of prey [00:04:23]

Who pick up on his bread crumb sins [00:04:27]

And there are no sins inside the gates of Eden [00:04:35]

The kingdoms of experience [00:04:45]

In the precious wind they rot [00:04:49]

While paupers change [00:04:56]

Possessions each one wishing for what the other has got [00:04:59]

And the princess and the prince [00:05:08]

Discuss what's real and what is not [00:05:12]

It doesn't matter inside the gates of Eden [00:05:20]

The foreign sun it squints upon [00:05:30]

A bed that is never mine [00:05:35]

As friends and other strangers [00:05:42]

From their fates try to resign [00:05:46]

Leaving men wholly totally free [00:05:54]

To do anything they wish to do but die [00:05:58]

And there are no trials inside the gates of Eden [00:06:05]

At dawn my lover comes to me [00:06:15]

And tells me of her dreams [00:06:20]

With no attempts to shovel the glimpse [00:06:27]

Into the ditch of what each one means [00:06:31]

At times I think there are no words [00:06:39]

But these to tell what's true [00:06:43]

And there are no truths outside the gates of Eden [00:06:51]
