Don Henley - "The End of the Innocence"

After receiving a Sony Walkman for Christmas in 1989, I used to spend my late nights listening to the radio while my parents thought I was fast sleep.  There was no shortage of Don Henley in 1990 seeing as he had just released his album The End of the Innocence.  I must have been too tired because I thought Don was singing: "this is the end of the embassy" in the song "The End of the Innocence".
