	Current version of Arlo Guthrie Lyrics Gates of Eden (http://www.mp3lyrics.org/a/arlo-guthrie/gates/) Current version of the lyrics						Version 1 of Arlo Guthrie Lyrics Gates of Eden (http://www.mp3lyrics.org/a/arlo-guthrie/gates/v1.html) Version 1 of the lyrics
1	Of war and peace the truth just twists, its curfew gull it glides						by Bob Dylan	1
1	Upon four legged forest clouds the cowboy angel rides							1
2	With his candle lit into the sun though it's glow is waxed in black						Of war and peace       the truth just twists	2
1							Its curfew gull it glides	1
2							Upon four-legged forest clouds	2
3							The cowboy angel rides	3
4							With his candle lit into the sun	4
5							Though it's glow is waxed in black	5
	All except beneath the trees of Eden						All except beneath the trees of Eden
3	The lamp post stands with folded arms its iron claws attached						The lamp post stands with folded arms	3
6							It's iron claws attached	6
	To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail						To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
	Through its shadow's metal badge						Through its shadow's metal badge
4	All in all can only fall with a crashing but meaningless blow						All in all can only fall	4
5	No sound ever comes from the Gates of Eden						With a crashing but meaningless blow	5
6							No sound ever comes from The Gates of Eden	6
2	The savage soldier sticks his head in the sand and then complains							2
7	Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf but still remains						The savage soldier sticks his head	7
8	Upon the beach where hound dogs bay at ships with tattooed sails						In the sand and then complains	8
9	Heading for the Gates of Eden						Unto      the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf	9
10							But still remains	10
11	The time rusted compass blade, Aladdin and his lamp						Upon the beach where hound dogs bay	11
12	Sits        with Utopian hermit monks, side saddle on the Golden Calf						At ships with tattooed sails	12
13	And on their promises of paradise you will not hear a laugh						Heading for The Gates of Eden	13
3	All except inside the Gates of Eden							3
14							The time rusted compass blade	14
15	Relationships of ownership they whisper in the wings						Aladdin and his lamp	15
16	To those condemned to act accordingly and wait for succeeding kings						Sits with Utopian hermit monks	16
17	And I try to harmonize with songs the lonesome sparrow sings						Side saddle on                             the golden calf	17
18	There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden						And on their promises                     of paradise	18
19							You will not hear a hush	19
20	The motorcycle 'Black Madonna', two-wheeled gypsy queen						All except inside The Gates of Eden	20
4	And her silver-studded phantom cause the gray flannel dwarf to scream							4
21	As he weeps to wicked birds of prey, pick up on his bread crumb sins						Relationships                               of ownership	21
22	And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden						They whisper in                   the wings	22
7							To those condemned to act accordingly	7
8							And wait for succeeding kings	8
9							And I try to harmonize with songs	9
10							The lonesome sparrow sings	10
11							There are no kings inside The Gates of Eden	11
23	The kingdoms of experience in the precious winds they rot						The kingdoms of experience	23
12							In the precious winds they rot	12
	While paupers change possessions						While paupers change possessions
	Each one wishing for what the other has got						Each one wishing for what the other has got
24	And the princess and the prince discuss what's real and what's not						And the princess and the prince discuss	24
25	It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden						What's real and what's not	25
26							It doesn't matter inside The Gates of Eden	26
5	The foreign sun it squints upon a bed that is never mine							5
27	As friends and others, strangers from their fates try to resign						The foreign sun it squints upon	27
28	Leaving men holy and totally free to do anything they wish to do but die						A bed that is never mine	28
29	And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden						As friends and others, strangers	29
13							From their fates try to resign	13
14							Leaving men holy and totally free	14
15							To do anything they wish to do but die	15
16							And there are no trials	16
17							inside The Gates of Eden	17
30	At dawn my lover comes to me and tells me of her dreams						At dawn my lover comes to me	30
18							And tells me of her dreams	18
	With no attempts to shovel the glimpse						With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
	Into the ditch of what each one means						Into the ditch of what each one means
31	At times I think there are no words but these to tell what's true						At times I think there are no words	31
	And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden						But these to tell me what's true
19							There are no truths outside The Gates of Eden	19
