[ti:Groom's Still Waiting At The A] [ar:Bob Dylan] [al:Biograph] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] The Groom's Still Waiting at The Altar - Bob Dylan Prayed in the ghetto With my face in the cement Heard the last moan of a boxer Seen the massacre of the innocent Felt around for the light switch Turned around for her face Been treated like a farm animal On a wild goose chase West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turnin' of the page curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' 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 mornin' The one that was sent to me About the madness of becomin' What one was never meant to be West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar 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'd only make me feel obligated West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the cage curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar Put your hand on my head baby Do I have a temperature I see people who are supposed to know better Standin' around like furniture There's a wall between you What you want you got to leap it Tonight you got the power to take it Tomorrow you won't have the power to keep it West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar Cities on fire Phones out of order They're killin' nuns and soldiers There's fightin' on the border What can I say about Claudette Ain't seen her since January She could be respectably married Or runnin' a whorehouse in Buenos Aires West of the Jordan east of the Rock of Gibraltar I see the turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age See the groom still waitin' at the altar
