"There must be some kinda way outta here"
Said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
Nobody of it along the line
Nobody offered his worth"
ย
"No reason to get excited"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here amongst us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talking falsely now
The hour's getting late"
ย
All along the watchtower
Princes kept their view
Of all the women that came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl
