[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [00:01.26]Standing on the waters casting your bread [00:04.41]While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing. [00:12.90]Distant ships sailing into the mist, [00:15.42]You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing. [00:23.26]Freedom just around the corner for you [00:27.94]But with the truth so far off, what good will it do? [00:35.38]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, [00:40.76]Bird fly high by the light of the moon, [00:43.55]Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman. [00:51.90]So swiftly the sun sets in the sky, [00:54.75]You rise up and say goodbye to no one. [01:00.65]Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, [01:05.73]Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one. [01:13.42]Shedding off one more layer of skin, [01:19.92]Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within. [01:26.61]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, [01:30.76]Bird fly high by the light of the moon, [01:33.89]Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman. [01:41.49]You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds, [01:44.62]Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister. [01:50.33]You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah [01:53.91]But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister. [02:02.96]Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame, [02:08.88]You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name. [02:17.04]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, [02:20.12]Bird fly high by the light of the moon, [02:23.63]Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman. [02:32.15]Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, [02:41.53]Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, [02:43.75]The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers. [02:52.14]In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed, [02:56.42]Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features. [03:03.40]Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space, [03:09.88]Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face. [03:17.36]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, [03:22.36]Bird fly high by the light of the moon, [03:24.83]Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman. [03:41.70]Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame, [03:45.18]Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain. [03:52.87]Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks, [03:55.94]Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain, [04:03.31]False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin, [04:09.97]Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in. [04:17.30]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, [04:20.21]Bird fly high by the light of the moon, [04:24.09]Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman. [04:42.00]It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray, [04:45.12]A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. [04:52.44]He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat, [04:56.06]Take the motherless children off the street [04:58.79]And place them at the feet of a harlot. [05:03.92]Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants, [05:10.47]Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response. [05:18.00]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, [05:20.68]Bird fly high by the light of the moon, [05:24.00]Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
