🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
There must be some kind of way outta hereSaid the joker to the thief There’s too much confusion I can’t get no reliefBusiness men, they drink my winePlowmen dig my earth None will level on the line Nobody offered his word Hey, heyNo reason to get excitedThe thief, he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But, uh, but you and I, we’ve been through that And this is not our fate So let us stop talkin’ falsely now The hour’s getting late, heyHeyAll along the watchtowerPrinces kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Well, uh, outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl, heyAll along the watchtowerAll along the watchtower
