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
