《Jokerman(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Jokerman - Bob Dylan

[00:00:00] Written by：Bob Dylan

[00:00:01] Standing on the water casting your bread

[00:00:04] While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing

[00:00:12] Distant ships sailing into the mist

[00:00:15] You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

[00:00:23] Freedom just around the corner for you

[00:00:29] But with truth so far off what good will it do

[00:00:37] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

[00:00:40] Bird fly high by the light of the moon

[00:00:44] Oh oh oh Jokerman

[00:00:51] So swiftly the sun sets in the sky

[00:00:55] You rise up and say goodbye to no one

[00:01:02] Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

[00:01:05] Both of their futures so full of dread you don't show one

[00:01:13] Shedding off one more layer of skin

[00:01:19] Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within

[00:01:27] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

[00:01:30] Bird fly high by the light of the moon

[00:01:34] Oh oh oh Jokerman

[00:01:41] You're a man of the mountains you can walk on the clouds

[00:01:44] Manipulator of crowds you're a dream twister

[00:01:51] You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah

[00:01:54] But what do you care Ain't nobody there would want marry your sister

[00:02:03] Friend to the martyr a friend to the woman of shame

[00:02:09] You look into the fiery furnace see the rich man without any name

[00:02:16] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

[00:02:19] Bird fly high by the light of the moon

[00:02:23] Oh oh oh Jokerman

[00:02:41] Well the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy

[00:02:45] The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers

[00:02:52] In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed

[00:02:55] Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features

[00:03:03] Resting in the fields far from the turbulent space

[00:03:09] Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face

[00:03:17] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

[00:03:20] Bird fly high by the light of the moon

[00:03:24] Oh oh oh Jokerman

[00:03:41] Well the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame

[00:03:45] Preacherman seeks the same who'll get there first is uncertain

[00:03:52] Nightsticks and water cannons tear gas padlocks

[00:03:56] Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain

[00:04:03] False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin

[00:04:09] Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in

[00:04:17] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

[00:04:20] Bird fly high by the light of the moon

[00:04:24] Oh oh oh Jokerman

[00:04:41] It's a shadowy world skies are slippery gray

[00:04:45] A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet

[00:04:52] He'll put the priest in his pocket put the blade to the heat

[00:04:55] Take the motherless children off the street

[00:04:58] And place them at the feet of a harlot

[00:05:03] Oh Jokerman you know what he wants

[00:05:10] Oh Jokerman you don't show any response

[00:05:17] Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune

[00:05:20] Bird fly high by the light of the moon

[00:05:24] Oh oh oh Jokerman
