Eddie Vedder & The Million Dollar Bashers - All Along The Watchtower lyrics

rate me

There must be some kind of way out of here<br />

Said the joker to the thief<br />

There's too much confusion<br />

I can't get no relief<br />

<br />

Businessmen, they drink my wine<br />

Plowmen dig my earth<br />

None of them along the line<br />

Know what any of it is worth<br />

<br />

No reason to get excited<br />

The thief, he kindly spoke<br />

There are many here among us<br />

Who feel that life is nothing but a joke<br />

<br />

But you and I, we've been through that<br />

And this is not our fate<br />

So let us not talk falsely now<br />

For the hour's getting late<br />

<br />

All along the watchtower<br />

Princes kept the view<br />

While all the women came and went<br />

And barefoot servants too<br />

<br />

Outside in the distance<br />

A wildcat did growl<br />

Two riders were approaching<br />

And the wind began to howl<br />

<br />

Two riders were approaching<br />

Two riders were approaching<br />

Two riders were approaching<br />

Two riders were approaching
