[rev. Sept. 27, 2013]

Arabia

Docked in Tangiers port at night
Heat drenched lights spread at a height
A young guide from the streets he'd fought
Spoke seven tongues though never taught

Arabia

Smoked a hashish cigarette
Chants float from a minaret
A Kasbah winds its labyrinth
The coastal palace of a prince

Arabia

They're falling lightly, the veils of Arabia
The veils of Arabia

They're falling lightly, the veils of Arabia
The veils of Arabia

Arabia

Sabre dance in Istanbul
Thieves around a pedestal
Harems held like nature's beasts
The desert boasts a genie's feats

Arabia

They're falling lightly, the veils of Arabia
The veils of Arabia

They're falling lightly, the veils of Arabia
The veils of Arabia

Teenage boys played on a beach
Though no girls, they're out of reach
Heritage, their fathers land
And law laid by their fathers' hand

Arabia
Arabia
Arabia
