Lyrics for Arabian Night by Bruce Springsteen:
| | | Artist: | Bruce Springsteen |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Arabian Night | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 142 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 (Clancy's) 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 don't like ?"
But Mama she sings me moontime
melodies
With this great Top 40 hook
She shrugs her shoulders, she don't care
Papa just
stares and says "Mary, look the girl's alright
The girl's alright"
And there's a
tenseness in the air He turns and says
Don't you know, can't you feel it "Tell me son, what's
the word ?"
Because there's something hanging there 'Cos you know he can't hear it
Pull back
the mist and reveal it But don't go near it
And even if you fear what you near It's criticized
as too absurd
Don't conceal it Even the animals fear it
'Cos if what Mama feels is too real
Papa says "Fetch me my flashlight,
son"
She just claims she don't feel it And she stumbles
out the front door
So come out from behind your bunkers
'Cos the lift-off's been a
bust
Oh Papa's Gone and Mama's dead
And buried in my rocket dust
You're alone now for
the first time
Don't worry, 'cos that's all right
All fear will completely
disappear
Come the Arabian Night
Well the soundman smiles and turns the dials
To
set the meter readin' rising
He pulls the singer's voice from out of his pocket
To see if
the audience likes it
Oh and in the very first row sits sweet Jenny Rue
With a bell on her
shoe and she wants him to make it
