bob dylan - jokerman (reggae remix by doctor dread) كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
standing on the waters 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 the truth so far off, what good will it do?

[chorus]
joker_man dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh, oh, oh, joker_man

[verse 2]
so swiftly the sun sets in the sky
you rise up and say goodbye to no one
lone_star, bat sh_t for you and your back
one of the women must sit in the shack and soak up
shedding off one more layеr of skin
keeping one step ahead of thе persecutor within

[chorus]
joker_man dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh, oh, oh, joker_man
[verse 3]
you’re a man of the mountains, 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 n0body there would want to marry your sister
scratching the world with a fine tooth comb
you’re a king amongst this town
you’re a stranger at home

[chorus]
joker_man dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh, oh, oh, joker_man

[verse 4]
well, the book of leviticus and deuteronomy
the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
no crystal ball, do you need on your shelf
michelangelo indeed could’ve carved out your features
so drunk standing in the middle of the street
directing traffic with a small dog at your feet

[chorus]
joker_man dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh, oh, oh, joker_man
[verse 5]
well, the preacher_man talking ’bout the death and the dump
and a world to come that’s already been predetermined
nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
molotov c_cktails and rocks can’t drown out your sermon
you let the wicked walk right into your trap
you give away all good things that fall in your lap

[chorus]
joker_man dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh, oh, oh, joker_man

[verse 6]
it’s a shadowy world, skies are slippery grey
a woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in scarlet
he’ll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
take the motherless children off the street
and place them at the feet of a harlot
oh, joker_man, you know what he wants
oh, joker_man, you don’t show any response

[chorus]
joker_man dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh, oh, oh, joker_man
