there must be some way out of here

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
