"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, barefoot servants, too.
 Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
 Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
 Yeh, I was just lookin around and the only chords on this site are the Hendrix version
 or wrong, so I thought I'd just type it up, since it's easy. I don't know if the lyrics
 are right, I just copied and pasted them :)
