about

demo, 1981
written by Brian Woodbury & Tom Rettig

lyrics

Arabs
We're Arabs in carriages
Carriages of Arabs
We collect the tariffs
We prepare the spare ribs
Swingin' low, sweet chariot
Swingin' like the cherubs

Caravans of harems
Harems in mascara
Harems on an exodus
Harems in hejira
Carried on a pilgramage
Crossing the Sahara

Mecca, our Jerusalem
Mecca, our Paris
A million pairs of bare feet
scale the staircase to the terrace
A million stares behold thee,
And, lo, none can embarrass
