Jokerman

 

Ne conosco parecchi, maschi e femmine.. In Italia e qui, in Assia..

Standing on the water 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 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

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

Both of their futures so full of dread you don’t show one

Shedding off one more layer of skin

Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

Bird fly high by the light of the moon

Oh oh oh Jokerman.

You’re a man of the mountain 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 marry your sister

Friend to the martyr a friend to the woman of shame

You look into the fiery furnace see the rich man without any name.
