Lyrics
"There must be some kind of way out of here," said the joker to the thief, "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief. Businessmen, they drink my wine, come and dig my herb, None of them along the line know what any of it is worth." "No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke, "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, So let us stop talking falsely now, the hour is getting late." All along the watchtower, princes kept their view While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too. Outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl, Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl.
