[00:02.160]	Standing on the waters casting your bread
[00:04.480]	While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing.
[00:10.230]
[00:12.930]	Distant ships sailing into the mist'
[00:15.550]	You were born with a snake in both of
[00:18.360]	your fists while a hurricane was blowing.
[00:21.110]
[00:23.130]	Freedom just around the corner for you
[00:28.380]
[00:29.570]	But with the truth so far off' what good will it do?
[00:34.820]
[00:37.130]	Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune'
[00:40.760]	Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
[00:44.330]	Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman.
[00:49.330]
[00:51.890]	So swiftly the sun sets in the sky'
[00:55.580]	You rise up and say goodbye to no one.
[00:59.830]	Fools rush in where angels fear to tread'
[01:05.770]	Both of their futures' so full of dread' you don't show one.
[01:11.390]
[01:13.470]	Shedding off one more layer of skin'
[01:18.100]
[01:19.789]	Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.
[01:23.910]	Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune'
[01:30.850]	Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
[01:34.410]	Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman.
[01:40.110]
[01:41.360]	You're a man of the mountains' you can walk on the clouds'
[01:44.800]	Manipulator of crowds' you're a dream twister.
[01:49.550]
[01:51.800]	You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
[01:53.930]	But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister.
[02:00.610]
[02:03.110]	Friend to the martyr' a friend to the woman of shame'
[02:09.550]	You look into the fiery furnace' see the rich man without any name.
[02:15.180]
[02:17.110]	Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune'
[02:20.610]	Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
[02:24.110]	Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman.
[02:30.430]
[02:41.550]	Well' the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy'
[02:45.400]	The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
[02:50.710]
[02:52.150]	In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed'
[02:56.340]	Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features.
[03:01.450]
[03:03.330]	Resting in the fields' far from the turbulent space'
[03:08.270]
[03:09.830]	Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.
[03:15.200]
[03:17.400]	Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune'
[03:20.900]	Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
[03:24.140]	Oh. oh. oh. Jokerman.
[03:30.960]
[03:41.890]	Well' the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame'
[03:45.579]	Preacherman seeks the same' who'll get there first is uncertain.
[03:50.390]
[03:52.829]	Nightsticks and water cannons' tear gas' padlocks'
[03:56.270]	Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain'
[04:01.270]
[04:03.390]	False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin'
[04:08.970]
[04:09.780]	Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
[04:14.910]
[04:17.279]	Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune'
[04:20.850]	Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
[04:24.350]	Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman.
[04:30.300]
[04:41.850]	It's a shadowy world' skies are slippery gray'
[04:45.659]	A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet.
[04:52.470]	He'll put the priest in his pocket' put the blade to the heat'
[04:56.159]	Take the motherless children off the street
[04:58.720]	And place them at the feet of a harlot.
[05:02.850]
[05:03.410]	Oh' Jokerman' you know what he wants'
[05:10.540]	Oh' Jokerman' you don't show any response.
[05:16.600]
[05:17.410]	Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune'
[05:20.910]	Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
[05:24.660]	Oh' oh' oh' Jokerman.
