Peter Koppes - Arabia lyrics

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

Arabia

Sabre dance in Istanbul

Thieves around a pedestal

Harems held like nature's beasts

The desert boasts a genie's feats

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
