[00:00.00] 作曲 : B. Dylan
[00:00.673] 作词 : B. Dylan
[00:02.20] Standing on the waters casting your bread
[00:04.15]
[00:04.71] While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
[00:07.87]
[00:12.81] Distant ships sailing into the mist
[00:14.43]
[00:15.25] You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
[00:19.03]
[00:24.15] Freedom just around the corner for you
[00:27.72]
[00:29.52] But with the truth so far off what good will it do
[00:34.67]
[00:37.04] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[00:39.11]
[00:40.60] Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[00:43.48]
[00:44.23] Oh oh oh Jokerman
[00:47.00]
[00:52.13] So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
[00:54.35]
[00:55.54] You rise up and say goodbye to no one
[00:58.47]
[01:02.35] Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
[01:04.91]
[01:05.85] Both of their futures so full of dread you don't show one
[01:09.79]
[01:13.35] Shedding off one more layer of skin
[01:16.48]
[01:19.79] Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
[01:22.54]
[01:27.22] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[01:29.72]
[01:30.79] Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[01:33.54]
[01:34.35] Oh oh oh Jokerman
[01:37.00]
[01:41.43] You're a man of the mountains you can walk on the clouds
[01:45.12] Manipulator of crowds you're a dream twister
[01:47.87]
[01:51.81] You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
[01:53.30]
[01:53.93] But what do you care Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
[01:58.12]
[02:03.05] Friend to the martyr a friend to the woman of shame
[02:06.05]
[02:09.30] You look into the fiery furnace see the rich man without any name
[02:13.49]
[02:16.99] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[02:19.24]
[02:20.43] Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[02:24.30]
[02:25.43] Oh oh oh Jokerman
[02:28.30]
[02:42.24] Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
[02:44.03] Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
[02:45.72] The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
[02:49.35]
[02:52.16] In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
[02:56.41] Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
[03:00.97]
[03:03.22] Resting in the fields far from the turbulent space
[03:06.47]
[03:09.84] Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face
[03:17.66] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[03:19.72]
[03:20.97] Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[03:25.34] Oh oh oh Jokerman
[03:34.66]
[03:41.78] Well the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
[03:44.85]
[03:45.47] Preacherman seeks the same who'll get there first is uncertain
[03:49.53]
[03:52.97] Nightsticks and water cannons tear gas padlocks
[03:55.34]
[03:56.15] Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
[03:59.59]
[04:03.57] False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
[04:07.07]
[04:09.37] Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in
[04:15.19]
[04:17.32] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[04:19.57]
[04:20.69] Bird fly high by the light of the moon
[04:23.69]
[04:24.44] Oh oh oh Jokerman
[04:42.32] It's a shadowy world skies are slippery gray
[04:45.14] A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
[04:53.20] He'll put the priest in his pocket put the blade to the heat
[04:58.65] Take the motherless children off the street
[05:00.71] And place them at the feet of a harlot
[05:02.90]
[05:03.65] Oh Jokerman you know what he wants
[05:06.34]
[05:11.77] Oh Jokerman you don't show any response
[05:13.00]
[05:17.66] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
[05:20.10]
[05:22.54] Bird fly high by the light of the moon
