Jokerman (Reggae Remix by Doctor Dread) - Bob Dylan
Lyrics by：Bob Dylan
Composed by：Bob Dylan
Standing on the waters casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with
The iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake
In both of your fists while
A hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with the truth so far off
What good will it do
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh jokerman
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Lone-star bat s**t for you and your back
One of the women must sit in the shack and so one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within
Joker-man dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh joker-man
You're a man of the mountains
You can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds you're a dream twister
You're going to sodom and gomorrah
But what do you care
Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister
Scratching the world with a fine tooth comb
You're a king amongst this town
You're a stranger at home
Joker-man dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh joker-man
Well the book of leviticus and deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
No crystal ball do you need on your shelf
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
So drunk standing in the middle of the street
Directing traffic with a small dog at your feet
Joker-man dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh joker-man
Well the rifleman's stalking
That the defined dam
And world to come
It's already been Preacher-man
Nightsticks and water cannons tear gas padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks can down and you Sir man
You let the wicked walk right into your trap
You give away all good things that fall in your lap
Joker-man dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh joker-man
It's a shadowy world skies are slippery grey
A woman just gave birth to
A prince today and dressed him in scarlet
He'll put the priest in set new goal man
Back
Take the women and caratin
Jobe back
And turn you into a harlot
Oh joker-man you know what he wants
Oh joker-man you don't show any response
Joker-man dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh oh oh joker-man
