The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar 가사

Prayed in the ghetto with my Face in the cement Heard the last moan of a boxer Seen the massacre of the innocent Hurled around for the light switch Hurled around for his face Been treated like a farm animal On a wild goose chase West side of Jordan East of the rock of Gibraltar I see you turn another page Curtain rising on a new age The groom still waiting at the altar Try to be pure at heart They arrest you for robbery Mistake your shyness for aloofness Your silence for snobbery Got the message this morning The one that was sent to me About the madness all becoming What one was never meant to be West side of Jordan East of the rock of Gibraltar I see you turn another page Curtain rising on a new age The groom still waiting at the altar Don't know what I could say about all that That wouldn't come back to haunt me Finally had to give him up About the time he began to want me But God have mercy On them who were slandered and humiliated I'd have done anything for that man If he didn't make me feel obligated West side of Jordan East of the rock of Gibraltar I see you turn another page Curtain rising on a new age The groom still waiting at the altar Put your hand on my head baby Do I have a temperature? I see people supposed to know better Standing round like furniture There's a wall between you What you want, you've got to leap it Tonight you got the power to take it Tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it West side of Jordan East of the rock of Gibraltar I see you turn another page Curtain rising on a new age The groom still waiting at the altar City's on fire Phone's out of order They're killing nuns and soldiers Fighting on the border What can I say about all that? Well, I ain't seen him since January He could be respectably married Or running a whole house in Buenos Aries West side of Jordan East of the rock of Gibraltar I see you turn another page Curtain rising on a new age The groom still waiting at the altar
