[00:01.680] There must be some kind of way out of here
[00:06.100] Said the joker to the thief, yeah
[00:10.300] There’s too much confusion
[00:14.390] Mmm I can’t get no relief
[00:17.990] Yeah
[00:19.190] I see jokers on my left, thieves upon my right
[00:21.350] You’d find me in the middle if I picked a different life
[00:23.440] Before my name started tripling in size
[00:25.830] But I’m still showing signs
[00:28.190] In the pitch black, it’s too cold
[00:30.200] I’m all alone take me back to the roads
[00:31.870] I had to rode to get here and I’ll hitch back
[00:33.650] Get a cab to my mother’s house
[00:35.380] See my old man and grab a six pack
[00:37.160] Tell my brother I love him
[00:38.660] And give him something that
[00:39.970] will see him through the hard times
[00:41.060] What’s a brother for?
[00:42.300] When I’m sick of this life I see
[00:43.450] It has to be my family who lift me off the floor
[00:46.020] Make sense of all the madness
[00:48.250] in a world full of money and …
[00:51.200] I was a failed man and worse I couldn’t give a ****
[00:53.350] Save your wine for the entrepreneurs
[00:55.390] All along the watchtower
[00:58.890] Princes kept the view
[01:03.180] While all the women came and went
[01:07.980] Barefoot servants too, yeah
[01:12.860] Outside in the cold distance
[01:17.240] A wildcat did growl
[01:21.930] Two riders were approaching
[01:25.620] And the wind began to howl
[01:29.490] Cause your world is the same as mine
[01:30.650] Pour more blood in your cup
[01:33.160] Take a sip full of sin and let your taste buds savour the buzz
[01:35.460] The flavour of an ill-mannered nature
[01:37.610] That lingers on as animals in all of us
[01:39.750] Trying to fight for the right to live a life
[01:42.070] But some will never win though
[01:43.550] That’s why they live a lie
[01:44.550] I don’t think I’ll ever win
[01:45.660] All of this is anything
[01:46.680] When I die I hope a brother’s at my side
[01:48.850] There’s no trap door, or get out clause
[01:50.990] The world can be your oyster or a set of jail doors
[01:53.150] You’ve seen mine, I think it’s time I see yours
[01:55.450] I bet you that we’ve been scarred by the same swords
[01:57.910] Some are lost some are
[02:00.530] Apart from the fact I live my life
[02:01.130] in the light and now I’m trapped in it
[02:02.750] The way I feel within a few years time
[02:04.280] I might have a couple kids
[02:05.510] and just forget I ever wrote this
[02:07.200] All along the watchtower
[02:10.760] Princes kept the view
[02:15.050] While all the women came and went
[02:20.090] Barefoot servants too, yeah
[02:24.760] Outside in the cold distance
[02:28.530] A wildcat did growl
[02:33.180] Two riders were approaching
[02:37.770] And the wind began to howl
[02:43.550] Take away the treasure of a man
[02:44.810] Convinced that he holds heaven in his hands
[02:47.160] Even though I ain’t religious I’m a little superstitious
[02:50.040] Maybe there is a promised land
[02:52.080] But will I make it or not is a different matter
[02:53.840] I’ve been a joker, I’ve been a thief,
[02:55.400] I’ve been a rapper
[02:56.280] I’ve been the only enemy that I can never beat
[02:58.430] Give me a piece of mind upon a platinum platter
[03:00.910] All along the watchtower
[03:04.520] Princes kept the view
[03:09.200] While all the women came and went
[03:13.350] Barefoot servants too, yeah
[03:18.710] Outside in the cold distance
[03:22.740] A wildcat did growl
[03:27.230] Two riders were approaching
[03:31.030] And the wind began to howl
