Of war and peace the truth just twists, its curfew gull it glides
Upon four legged forest clouds the cowboy angel rides
With his candle lit into the sun though it's glow is waxed in black
All except beneath the trees of Eden

The lamp post stands with folded arms its iron claws attached
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
Through its shadow's metal badge
All in all can only fall with a crashing but meaningless blow
No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden

The savage soldier sticks his head in the sand and then complains
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf but still remains
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay at ships with tattooed sails
Heading for the Gates of Eden

The time rusted compass blade, Aladdin and his lamp
Sits with Utopian hermit monks, side saddle on the Golden Calf
And on their promises of paradise you will not hear a laugh
All except inside the Gates of Eden

Relationships of ownership they whisper in the wings
To those condemned to act accordingly and wait for succeeding kings
And I try to harmonize with songs the lonesome sparrow sings
There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden

The motorcycle 'Black Madonna', two-wheeled gypsy queen
And her silver-studded phantom cause the gray flannel dwarf to scream
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey, pick up on his bread crumb sins
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden

The kingdoms of experience in the precious winds they rot
While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got
And the princess and the prince discuss what's real and what's not
It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden

The foreign sun it squints upon a bed that is never mine
As friends and others, strangers from their fates try to resign
Leaving men holy and totally free to do anything they wish to do but die
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden

At dawn my lover comes to me and tells me of her dreams
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means
At times I think there are no words but these to tell what's true
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden


Mirror lyrics:

And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
At times I think there are no words but these to tell what's true
Into the ditch of what each one means
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
At dawn my lover comes to me and tells me of her dreams

And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden
Leaving men holy and totally free to do anything they wish to do but die
As friends and others, strangers from their fates try to resign
The foreign sun it squints upon a bed that is never mine

It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden
And the princess and the prince discuss what's real and what's not
Each one wishing for what the other has got
While paupers change possessions
The kingdoms of experience in the precious winds they rot

And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey, pick up on his bread crumb sins
And her silver-studded phantom cause the gray flannel dwarf to scream
The motorcycle 'Black Madonna', two-wheeled gypsy queen

There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden
And I try to harmonize with songs the lonesome sparrow sings
To those condemned to act accordingly and wait for succeeding kings
Relationships of ownership they whisper in the wings

All except inside the Gates of Eden
And on their promises of paradise you will not hear a laugh
Sits with Utopian hermit monks, side saddle on the Golden Calf
The time rusted compass blade, Aladdin and his lamp

Heading for the Gates of Eden
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay at ships with tattooed sails
Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf but still remains
The savage soldier sticks his head in the sand and then complains

No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden
All in all can only fall with a crashing but meaningless blow
Through its shadow's metal badge
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
The lamp post stands with folded arms its iron claws attached

All except beneath the trees of Eden
With his candle lit into the sun though it's glow is waxed in black
Upon four legged forest clouds the cowboy angel rides
Of war and peace the truth just twists, its curfew gull it glides
