《The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar(Alternate)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:23] Became nauseated

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

[00:00:27] While the walls deteriorated

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:01] Your shyness for snobbery

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:31] What you want

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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