Originally the B-side to the single "Heart of Mine" and included
on the cassette release but not the original vinyl album. It was
later inserted onto the ten-track compact disc and reissues of
the vinyl LP in 1985 and has been present in all subsequent
pressings.
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
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 felt around for her face
And treated like a farm animal on a wild goose chase
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
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 becomin' what one was never meant to be.
[Chorus]
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.
[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 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.
[Verse 4]
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 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 turning of the page curtain risin' on a new age
See the groom still waitin' at the altar.
[Verse 5]
Cities on fire phones 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 Buenos Aires.
[Chorus]
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. (repeat and fade)
