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

And treated like a farm animal

I know a wild goose chase

See the groom's still waiting at the altar

Try to be pure at heart

They arrest you for robbery

Mistake your shyness for aloofness

Your shyness for snobbery

Got the message this morning

The one that was sent to me

About the madness of becoming

What one was never meant to be

at the altar

Don't know what I can say

about Claudette

Wouldn't come back to haunt me

Finally had to give her up

About the time she began to want me

But I know God has mercy

On them who are slandered

and humiliated

I'd have done anything

for that woman

If she'd only make me feel obligated

See the groom's still waiting at the altar

Put your hand on my head, baby

Do I have a temperature?

I see people who are supposed

to know better

Standing' round like furniture

There's a wall between you

What you want and you've

got to leap it

Tonight you've got the

power to take it

Tomorrow you won't have

the power to keep it

waiting at the altar

City's on fire

Phone's out of order

They're killing 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 whorehouse in
