All Along The Watchtower Lyrics - Dylanesque - Bryan Ferry

?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, plowmen 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 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 and barefoot servants, too 

Outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl 

Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl
