| [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, |
