Lyrics All Along the Watchtower (Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - March 1, 1978) - Bob Dylan

This is from the Mojave Desert

"There must be some way outta 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's getting late"

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl

(Hey, hey) hey
