Jokerman - Eliza Gilkyson.mp3

[00:10.38]Standin' on the waters, castin' your bread
[00:13.50]While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowin'
[00:20.58]Distant ships sailin' into the mist
[00:23.34]You were born with a snake in both of your fists
[00:26.16]While a hurricane was blowing
[00:28.05]Freedom just around the corner for you
[00:36.63]But with the truth so far off, what good will it do?
[00:43.83]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[00:46.92]Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[00:50.22]Ohh, ohh, jokerman
[00:56.97]So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
[01:00.48]You rise up and say goodbye to no one
[01:07.56]Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
[01:10.71]Both of their futures, so full of dread
[01:13.80]You don't show one
[01:14.94]Sheddin' off one more layer of skin
[01:21.12]Keepin' one step ahead of the persecutor within
[01:31.29]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[01:33.57]Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[01:36.63]Ohh, ohh, jokerman
[01:43.44]You're a man of the mountains
[01:45.12]You can walk on the clouds
[01:46.77]Manipulator of crowds
[01:49.23]You're a dream twister
[01:53.16]You're goin' to Sodom and Gomorrah
[01:55.38]But what do you care?
[01:56.67]Ain't nobody there
[01:58.50]Would want to marry your sister?
[02:03.33]Friend to the martyr
[02:05.13]A friend to the woman of shame
[02:08.76]You look into the fiery furnace
[02:11.31]See the rich man without any name
[02:14.43]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[02:19.92]Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[02:22.53]Ohh, ohh, jokerman
[02:22.83]Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
[02:43.11]The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
[02:48.93]In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
[02:52.56]Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
[02:59.13]Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
[03:05.28]Half asleep near the stars
[03:07.29]With a small dog licking your face
[03:10.05]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[03:17.19]Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[03:18.21]Ohh, ohh, jokerman
[03:18.54]Well, the rifleman's stalkin' the sick and the lame
[03:38.16]Preacher man seeks the same
[03:40.26]Who'll get there first is uncertain
[03:44.91]Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
[03:48.72]Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
[03:54.72]False hearted judges
[03:56.34]Dying in the webs that they spin
[04:00.66]Only a matter of time
[04:02.61]'Til night comes steppin' in
[04:08.70]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[04:11.01]Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[04:13.71]Ohh, ohh, jokerman
[04:30.36]It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
[04:33.84]A woman just gave birth to a prince today
[04:37.20]And dressed him in scarlet
[04:40.14]He'll put the priest in his pocket
[04:41.91]Put the blade to the heat
[04:43.50]Take the motherless children off the street
[04:46.23]And place them at the feet of a harlot
[04:52.23]Oh, jokerman, you know what he wants
[04:58.14]Oh, jokerman, you don't show any response
[05:00.87]Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[05:06.72]Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[05:09.42]Ohh, ohh, jokerman
