Standing on the waters casting your bread,[00:06:47]

While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing.,[00:06:47]

Distant ships sailing into the mist,,[00:06:47]

You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing.,[00:06:47]

Freedom just around the corner for you,[00:06:47]

But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?,[00:06:47]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,,[00:06:47]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon,,[00:06:47]

Ohhhhh, oh, oh,ohhhhh oh oh oh oh Jokerman.,,[00:06:47]

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky,,[00:06:47]

You rise up and say goodbye to no one.,[00:06:47]

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread,,[00:06:47]

Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one.,[00:06:47]

Shedding off one more layer of skin,,[00:06:47]

Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.,,[00:06:47]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,,[00:06:47]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon,,[00:06:47]

Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.,,[00:06:47]

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,,[00:06:47]

Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister.,[00:06:47]

You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah,[00:06:47]

But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister.,[00:06:47]

Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,,[00:06:47]

You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name.,,[00:06:47]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,,[00:06:47]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon,,[00:06:47]

Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.,,[00:06:47]

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,,[00:06:47]

The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.,[00:06:47]

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed,,[00:06:47]

Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.,[00:06:47]

Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space,,[00:06:47]

Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.,,[00:06:47]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,,[00:06:47]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon,,[00:06:47]

Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman.,,[00:06:47]

Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame,,[00:06:47]

Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain.,[00:06:47]

Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,,[00:06:47]

Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,,[00:06:47]

False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,,[00:06:47]

Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.,,[00:06:47]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,,[00:06:47]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon,,[00:06:47]

Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.,,[00:06:47]

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray,,[00:06:47]

A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet.,[00:06:47]

He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat,,[00:06:47]

Take the motherless children off the street,[00:06:47]

And place them at the feet of a harlot.,[00:06:47]

Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants,,[00:06:47]

Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response.,,[00:06:47]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune,,[00:06:47]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon,,[00:06:47]

Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.[00:06:47]
