lirik lagu bob dylan - the groom’s still waiting at the altar
[verse 1]
prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement
heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the m-ssacre of the innocent
felt around for the light switch, became nauseated
she was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated
[chorus]
east of the jordan, hard as the rock of gibraltar
i see the burning of the page
curtain rising on a new age
see the groom still waiting at the altar
[verse 2]
try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery
mistake your shyness for aloofness, your silence for sn0bbery
got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
about the madness of becoming what one was never meant to be
[chorus]
west of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar
i see the burning of the stage
curtain rising on a new age
see the groom still waiting at the altar
[verse 3]
don’t know what i can say about claudette that wouldn’t come back to haunt me
finally had to give her up ’bout the time she began to want me
but i know god has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated
i’d a-done anything for that woman if she didn’t make me feel so obligated
[chorus]
west of the jordan, west of the rock of gibraltar
i see the burning of the cage
curtain rising on a new stage
see the groom still waiting at the altar
[verse 4]
put your hand on my head, baby, do i have a temperature?
i see people who are supposed to know better standing around like furniture
there’s a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it
tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won’t have the power to
keep it
[chorus]
west of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar
i see the burning of the stage
curtain rising on a new age
see the groom still waiting at the altar
[verse 5]
cities on fire, phones out of order
they’re k!lling nuns and soldiers, there’s fighting on the border
what can i say about claudette?
ain’t seen her since january
she could be respectably married or running a wh0r-house in buenos aires
[chorus]
west of the jordan, east of the rock of gibraltar
i see the turning of the page
curtain rising on a new age
see the groom still waiting at the altar
