Verse 1

"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,  plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.
JH: None will level on the line, nobody offered his word."

Solos

Verse 2

"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 not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

Solos

Verse 3

All along the watchtower, princes kept the 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. Yeah, Yeah.
