| [00:02.16] | Standing on the waters casting your bread |
| [00:04.48] | While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing. |
| [00:10.23] | |
| [00:12.93] | Distant ships sailing into the mist' |
| [00:15.55] | You were born with a snake in both of |
| [00:18.36] | your fists while a hurricane was blowing. |
| [00:21.11] | |
| [00:23.13] | Freedom just around the corner for you |
| [00:28.38] | |
| [00:29.57] | But with the truth so far off' what good will it do? |
| [00:34.82] | |
| [00:37.13] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [00:40.76] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [00:44.33] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [00:49.33] | |
| [00:51.89] | So swiftly the sun sets in the sky' |
| [00:55.58] | You rise up and say goodbye to no one. |
| [00:59.83] | Fools rush in where angels fear to tread' |
| [01:05.77] | Both of their futures' so full of dread' you don't show one. |
| [01:11.04] | |
| [01:13.47] | Shedding off one more layer of skin' |
| [01:18.10] | |
| [01:19.79] | Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within. |
| [01:23.91] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [01:30.85] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [01:34.41] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [01:40.11] | |
| [01:41.36] | You're a man of the mountains' you can walk on the clouds' |
| [01:44.80] | Manipulator of crowds' you're a dream twister. |
| [01:49.55] | |
| [01:51.80] | You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah |
| [01:53.93] | But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister. |
| [02:00.61] | |
| [02:03.11] | Friend to the martyr' a friend to the woman of shame' |
| [02:09.55] | You look into the fiery furnace' see the rich man without any name. |
| [02:15.18] | |
| [02:17.11] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [02:20.61] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [02:24.11] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [02:30.43] | |
| [02:41.55] | Well' the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy' |
| [02:45.40] | The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers. |
| [02:50.71] | |
| [02:52.15] | In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed' |
| [02:56.34] | Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features. |
| [03:01.45] | |
| [03:03.33] | Resting in the fields' far from the turbulent space' |
| [03:08.27] | |
| [03:09.83] | Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face. |
| [03:15.02] | |
| [03:17.40] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [03:20.90] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [03:24.14] | Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman. |
| [03:30.96] | |
| [03:41.89] | Well' the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame' |
| [03:45.58] | Preacherman seeks the same' who'll get there first is uncertain. |
| [03:50.39] | |
| [03:52.83] | Nightsticks and water cannons' tear gas' padlocks' |
| [03:56.27] | Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain' |
| [04:01.27] | |
| [04:03.39] | False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin' |
| [04:08.97] | |
| [04:09.78] | Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in. |
| [04:14.91] | |
| [04:17.28] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [04:20.85] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [04:24.35] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
| [04:30.03] | |
| [04:41.85] | It's a shadowy world' skies are slippery gray' |
| [04:45.66] | A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet. |
| [04:52.47] | He'll put the priest in his pocket' put the blade to the heat' |
| [04:56.16] | Take the motherless children off the street |
| [04:58.72] | And place them at the feet of a harlot. |
| [05:02.85] | |
| [05:03.41] | Oh' Jokerman' you know what he wants' |
| [05:10.54] | Oh' Jokerman' you don't show any response. |
| [05:16.60] | |
| [05:17.41] | Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune' |
| [05:20.91] | Bird fly high by the light of the moon' |
| [05:24.66] | Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman. |
