Song by The Watchtower Four<br /><br>

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,<br>

"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.<br>

Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,<br>

None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."<br>

<br>

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,<br>

"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.<br>

But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,<br>

So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."<br>

<br>

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view<br>

While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.<br>

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,<br>

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.<br>
