Actual Miles: Henley's Greatest Hits
The Garden Of Allah
It was a pretty big year for fashion,
a lousy year for rock'n'roll.
the people give their blessings to crimes of passion
it was a dark, dark night of the collective soul

and I was somewhere out on Riverside
by the El Royale Hotel
when a stranger appeared in a
cloud of smoke ,
thought I knew him all too well
he said,"Now that I have your attention,
I've got something I wanna say.
You may not wanna hear it,
but I'm gonna tell it to 'ya anyway.
You know I've always liked you boy,
because you were not afraid of me,
things are gonna get mighty rough
here in Gomorah-by-the-sea."

He said,"It's just like home,
It's so damn hot I can't stand it.
My fine searsucker suit is
all soaking wet."

And the hills were burning
and the fire was raging,
and the clock strikes midnight
in the Garden of Allah
(in the garden of allah....)

(spoken-)
Nice car. Ahh, I love those Bavarians,
so meticulous,
Y'know, I remember a time when things were a lot
more fun around here,
when good was good
and evil was evil,
before things got so "fuzzy"

And I was once a golden boy like you,
and I was summoned to
the Halls of Power in the Heavenly Court,
and I dined with the deities
who looked apon me with favor
for my talents , my creativity,
and we sat beneath the palms
in the warm afternoons and drank the wine
with Fitzgerald and Huxley
and they pawned the biting phrase
from the tongues hot with blood..........
and drained their pens of bitter ink,
vainly reaching for the bottle,
full of empty edens
branded especially for the ones
who had come with great expectations
to the perfumed Halls of
Allah for their time in the sun..

And we were stokin' the fires,
and oiling up the machinery,
until the God found out
we had ideas of our own,
and the war was coming,
and the earth was shaking,
and there was no more room
in the Garden of Allah

(Spoken-)
Today, I made an appearance downtown,
I am an expert witness, because I say I am,
and I said, "gentlemen", and I use that word loosely,
I will testify for you, I'm a gun for hire,
I'm a saint, I'm a liar,
because there are no facts,
there is no truth, only data to be manipulated,
I can get you any result you like,
what's it worth to 'ya?,
because there is no wrong,
there is no right,
and I sleep very well at night,
no shame, no solution,
no remorse, no retrbution
just people selling T-shrits,
just opportunity to participate
in a pathetic little circus
and winning, winning, winning.

It was a pretty big year for predators,
the marketplace was on a roll,
and the land of opportunity,
spawned a whole new breed
of men without souls,
this year notoriety
got all confused with fame
and the Devil is downhearted babe,
cause there's nothing left for him to claim,
he said,"It's just like
home,
it's so low-down,
I can't stand it...
I guess my work 'round here
has all been done,
and the fruit was rotten,
and the serpent's eyes shined,
as he wraps around the vine,
in the Garden of Allah,
(in the garden of allah)
