Corey/Paul Gurian [00:04.39] [00:29.58]It was a pretty big year for fashion [00:31.50] [00:32.76]A lousy year [00:33.81]For rock and roll [00:34.93] [00:35.64]The people gave their blessings to crimes of passion [00:38.32]It was a dark dark night of the collective soul [00:41.01]Now was somewhere out on riverside [00:43.86]By the el Royale Hotel [00:45.86] [00:46.76]When a stranger appeared [00:48.26]In a cloud of smoke [00:49.28] [00:50.07]I thought I knew him [00:51.29]All too well [00:52.25]He said [00:52.94]Now that I have your attention [00:54.28] [00:55.82]I got somethin' I want to say [00:57.55] [00:58.57]You may not want to hear it [01:00.18] [01:01.44]I'm gonna tell it to you anyway [01:03.65]You know I've always liked you boy [01:05.52] [01:07.12]'Cause you were not afraid of me [01:09.13] [01:10.00]But things are gonna get mighty rough [01:11.78] [01:12.30]Here in Gomorrah by the sea [01:14.12] [01:16.44]He said it's just like home [01:17.74] [01:19.39]It's so d*mned hot I can't stand it [01:21.62] [01:27.94]My fine seersucker suit [01:30.14] [01:31.35]Is all soakin' wet [01:32.62] [01:38.06]And the hills are burning [01:39.60] [01:40.75]The wind is raging [01:42.39] [01:43.47]And the clock strikes midnight [01:45.34] [01:47.24]In the garden of Allah [01:50.33]In the garden of Allah [01:54.42] [02:02.73]Nice car [02:03.41] [02:05.54]I love those bavarians [02:06.99] [02:08.61]So meticulous [02:09.64] [02:11.92]You know I remember a time [02:13.12]When things were a lot more fun around here [02:15.55] [02:16.92]When good was good [02:17.85] [02:18.67]And evil was evil [02:19.88] [02:21.04]Before things got so [02:22.31] [02:23.00]Fuzzy [02:23.45] [02:25.13]Yeah I was once a golden boy like you [02:27.54] [02:28.14]And I was summoned to the halls of power in [02:30.59]The heavenly court [02:31.30] [02:31.94]And I dined with the deities who looked upon me [02:34.69]With favor [02:35.74]For my talents [02:36.95]My creativity [02:37.57] [02:39.03]And we sat beneath the palms [02:41.08]In the warm afternoons [02:42.40]And drank the wine [02:43.37] [02:44.33]With fitzgerald and huxley [02:45.84] [02:46.55]And they pawned a biting phrase [02:48.14] [02:48.80]From tongues hot with blood [02:50.37] [02:51.62]And drained their pens of bitter ink [02:53.53] [02:54.61]Vainly reaching for the bottle [02:56.71]Full of empty edens [02:57.54] [02:58.77]Branded special for the ones [03:00.63]Who had come with great expectations [03:02.22] [03:03.16]To the perfumed halls of Allah [03:04.79] [03:05.57]For their time [03:06.19] [03:06.98]In the sun [03:07.53] [03:10.03]We were stokin' the fires [03:11.36] [03:12.78]And oilin' up the machinery [03:15.41] [03:21.49]Until the Gods found out [03:23.42] [03:24.16]We had ideas of our own [03:26.32] [03:31.22]And the war was coming [03:32.98] [03:34.05]And the earth was shaking [03:36.02] [03:37.06]And there was no more room [03:38.90] [03:40.86]In the garden of Allah [03:43.73]In the garden of Allah [03:48.56] [03:55.91]Today [03:56.62]I made an appearance downtown [03:58.10] [03:59.02]I am an expert witness [04:00.07] [04:00.67]Because I say I am [04:02.05]And I said gentleman [04:03.63]And I use that word loosely [04:05.10] [04:05.99]I will testify for you [04:07.40] [04:07.93]I'm a gun for hire [04:09.34]I'm a saint [04:10.25]I'm a liar [04:10.76] [04:11.29]Because there are no facts [04:12.18] [04:12.86]There is no truth [04:13.53] [04:14.27]Just a data to be manipulated [04:15.83] [04:16.70]I can get any result you like [04:18.02] [04:18.79]What's it worth to ya [04:19.67] [04:20.30]Because there is no wrong [04:21.71]There is no right [04:22.60] [04:23.29]And I sleep [04:24.22]Very well at night [04:25.02] [04:25.93]No shame [04:26.40] [04:26.94]No solution [04:27.44] [04:28.08]No remorse [04:28.59] [04:29.18]No retribution [04:29.82] [04:30.56]Just people selling T shirts [04:32.13] [04:33.03]Just opportunity [04:34.26] [04:34.84]To participate [04:35.38] [04:36.02]In the pathetic little circus [04:37.25] [04:38.14]And winning [04:38.57] [04:39.11]Winning [04:39.70] [04:40.39]Winning [04:40.99] [05:07.76]It was a pretty big year for predators [05:09.96] [05:10.88]The marketplace [05:12.08]Was on a roll [05:12.91] [05:13.52]And the land of opportunity [05:16.25]Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls [05:19.45]This year notoriety [05:21.45] [05:22.09]Got all confused with fame [05:23.98] [05:24.67]And the devil is downhearted baby [05:27.77]'Cause there's nothing left for him to claim [05:30.31] [05:31.79]He said it's just like home [05:33.25] [05:34.69]It's so low down I can't stand it [05:37.03] [05:43.13]I guess my work around here [05:45.39] [05:46.96]Has all been done [05:48.20] [05:53.15]And the fruit [05:54.20]Is rotten [05:54.94] [05:56.22]The serpent's eyes shine [05:57.92] [05:58.72]As he wraps around the vine [06:00.99] [06:02.74]In the garden of Allah [06:05.62]In the garden of Allah [06:10.85] [06:31.10]In the garden of Allah
