T-Bone Burnett - East Of East lyrics

I was standing in the lobby

Counting all the ladies

Passing the palm trees

I was taking chances

Not to make them nervous

Ladies are my business

The know that they can trust me

I forgive them instantly

I am the absent minded priest

Ladies have their problems

Living on a space stage

Acting out a new rage

The battle of the sexes

It's just the same in Egypt

It's just the same in Texas

It starts in the heart

Then it ends in sin

Nothing's really changed

Even east of east of Eden
