歌曲歌詞
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of our fists while a hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off what good will it do
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh Jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures so full of dread you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh Jokerman
You're a man of the mountains you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Friend to the martyr a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace see the rich man without any name
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh Jokerman
Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh Jokerman
Well the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons tear gas padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh Jokerman
It's a shadowy world skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh Jokerman you know what he wants
Oh Jokerman you don't show any response
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh Jokerman
