“There must be some 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, ploughmen dig my earth, 
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 now,
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;"  

All along the Watchtower, Princes kept the view, 
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants too, 
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl, 
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl;  

“There must be some way out of here," 
“There must be some way out of here..."
