Standing on the waters casting your bread[00:00:02]

While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing [00:00:04]

Distant ships sailing into the mist [00:00:12]

You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing [00:00:15]

Freedom just around the corner for you[00:00:24]

But with the truth so far off what good will it do [00:00:29]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune [00:00:37]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon [00:00:40]

Oh oh oh Jokerman [00:00:44]

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky [00:00:52]

You rise up and say goodbye to no one [00:00:55]

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread [00:01:02]

Both of their futures so full of dread you don't show one [00:01:05]

Shedding off one more layer of skin [00:01:13]

Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within [00:01:19]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune [00:01:27]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon [00:01:30]

Oh oh oh Jokerman [00:01:34]

You're a man of the mountains you can walk on the clouds [00:01:41]

Manipulator of crowds you're a dream twister [00:01:45]

You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah[00:01:51]

But what do you care Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister [00:01:53]

Friend to the martyr a friend to the woman of shame [00:02:03]

You look into the fiery furnace see the rich man without any name [00:02:09]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune [00:02:16]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon [00:02:20]

Oh oh oh Jokerman [00:02:25]

Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy [00:02:42]

Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy [00:02:44]

The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers [00:02:45]

In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed [00:02:52]

Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features [00:02:56]

Resting in the fields far from the turbulent space [00:03:03]

Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face [00:03:09]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune [00:03:17]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon [00:03:20]

Oh oh oh Jokerman [00:03:25]

Well the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame [00:03:41]

Preacherman seeks the same who'll get there first is uncertain [00:03:45]

Nightsticks and water cannons tear gas padlocks [00:03:52]

Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain [00:03:56]

False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin [00:04:03]

Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in [00:04:09]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune [00:04:17]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon [00:04:20]

Oh oh oh Jokerman [00:04:24]

It's a shadowy world skies are slippery gray [00:04:42]

A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet [00:04:45]

He'll put the priest in his pocket put the blade to the heat [00:04:53]

Take the motherless children off the street[00:04:58]

And place them at the feet of a harlot [00:05:00]

Oh Jokerman you know what he wants [00:05:03]

Oh Jokerman you don't show any response [00:05:11]

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune [00:05:17]

Bird fly high by the light of the moon [00:05:22]

Oh oh oh Jokerman[00:05:25]
