Arabian Nights
Shrieks of sheiks as they run across the movie screen
A thousand sand-dune soldiers led by an arabian queen
And the harem girls move like fancy (clancys) dancers
In my dirty dreams
And I wake up on the floor clutching the bed-lamp
And mama comes in, she screams
Hey you been out with that tramp again last night
You know that silver-sequined arab black bitch
The one that mama dont like ?
But mama she sings me moontime melodies
With this great top 40 hook
She shrugs her shoulders, she dont care
Papa just stares and says mary, look the girls alright
The girls alright
And theres a tenseness in the air he turns and says
Dont you know, cant you feel it tell me son, whats the word ?
Because theres something hanging there cos you know he cant hear it
Pull back the mist and reveal it but dont go near it
And even if you fear what you near its criticized as too absurd
Dont conceal it even the animals fear it

Well the rangers had a home-coming in harlem late last night
And the magic rat piloted his sleek machine across the jersey state line
Barefoot girl sits drinking warm beer on the hood of an old dodge
In the soft summer rain
Rat rolls up his pants, together theyd make a stab at romance
And move down flamingo lane
Well now the maximum lawmen they run down the flamingo chasing the rat
And the barefoot girl
But the kids they live like shadows in empty doorways
(but they live like shadows in the vacant doorways)
Always silent, holding hands
The rat pulls her close (the rat pulls mary close)
And from the churches to the jails there is silence in the world
(all is silent in the world)
For tonight theyd take their chance
Down here in jungleland
Well thers a crazy kind of light tonight
Brighter than the one that sparkles for prophets
Brighter than the giant exxon sign that brings this fair city light
