about

I play a lot of covers in my live performances but, I definitely put my own stamp on them! This is one of my favorites to play as it catches people off guard!

lyrics

There must be some kind of 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
Ploughmen 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 stop talking falsely now
The hour is getting late

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see
I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think
I still was a madman
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

All along
The watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
