Jokerman-Bob Dylan

[00:02.16]Standing on the waters casting your bread [00:04.48]While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing. [00:10.23] [00:12.93]Distant ships sailing into the mist' [00:15.55]You were born with a snake in both of [00:18.36]your fists while a hurricane was blowing. [00:21.11] [00:23.13]Freedom just around the corner for you [00:28.38] [00:29.57]But with the truth so far off' what good will it do? [00:34.82] [00:37.13]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' [00:40.76]Bird fly high by the light of the moon' [00:44.33]Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. [00:49.33] [00:51.89]So swiftly the sun sets in the sky' [00:55.58]You rise up and say goodbye to no one. [00:59.83]Fools rush in where angels fear to tread' [01:05.77]Both of their futures' so full of dread' you don't show one. [01:11.04] [01:13.47]Shedding off one more layer of skin' [01:18.10] [01:19.79]Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within. [01:23.91]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' [01:30.85]Bird fly high by the light of the moon' [01:34.41]Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. [01:40.11] [01:41.36]You're a man of the mountains' you can walk on the clouds' [01:44.80]Manipulator of crowds' you're a dream twister. [01:49.55] [01:51.80]You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah [01:53.93]But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister. [02:00.61] [02:03.11]Friend to the martyr' a friend to the woman of shame' [02:09.55]You look into the fiery furnace' see the rich man without any name. [02:15.18] [02:17.11]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' [02:20.61]Bird fly high by the light of the moon' [02:24.11]Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. [02:30.43] [02:41.55]Well' the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy' [02:45.40]The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers. [02:50.71] [02:52.15]In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed' [02:56.34]Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features. [03:01.45] [03:03.33]Resting in the fields' far from the turbulent space' [03:08.27] [03:09.83]Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face. [03:15.02] [03:17.40]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' [03:20.90]Bird fly high by the light of the moon' [03:24.14]Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman. [03:30.96] [03:41.89]Well' the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame' [03:45.58]Preacherman seeks the same' who'll get there first is uncertain. [03:50.39] [03:52.83]Nightsticks and water cannons' tear gas' padlocks' [03:56.27]Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain' [04:01.27] [04:03.39]False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin' [04:08.97] [04:09.78]Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in. [04:14.91] [04:17.28]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' [04:20.85]Bird fly high by the light of the moon' [04:24.35]Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. [04:30.03] [04:41.85]It's a shadowy world' skies are slippery gray' [04:45.66]A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. [04:52.47]He'll put the priest in his pocket' put the blade to the heat' [04:56.16]Take the motherless children off the street [04:58.72]And place them at the feet of a harlot. [05:02.85] [05:03.41]Oh' Jokerman' you know what he wants' [05:10.54]Oh' Jokerman' you don't show any response. [05:16.60] [05:17.41]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' [05:20.91]Bird fly high by the light of the moon' [05:24.66]Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman.
