Bob Dylan - Jokerman Lyrics
Standing on the water, 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
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
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 nobody there would want marry your sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangelo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.
It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
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, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response.
Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

"Freedom, just around the corner for you... But with truth so far off, what good will it do?" Fuck, that's us. Right now! Fuck!
Life wouldn't be worth it without art. Let us bless geniuses, like Bob Dylan, who can grasp the beauty that lives hidden in our plain sight.
I'd love to just hear a single mic version of this
why don't any of my heroes make news? stand up! ...just the false idols and useless fools-book crowd 24/7...so sad

0:05 the scariest thing you're going to see in your life.
What a line:
Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy,
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.
Made for and Atheist, like me.....(buggars)
Yeah me too , !
He is such a bad singer
Love his music been to see him twice?? 😉 but check him out throwing up all the illuminatti Gang sighns? ?😲 sorry Jokerman don't shoot the messanger? 😆 there all at it?? The Cheif commander of this world and the one we can't see??😈 peace people from Sunny England? 😉
I love that comforting tone.
As an amateur Dylan scholar, this easily ranks in his top ten. The lyrics are biblical as heck, the music timeless, the vibe written in eternity. Please play this at my wake when I turn 100! Thank you Bob ❤️
If you'll be turning 100 you won't be at your wake.
@MrThermostatic Ah but I will be there in spirit, right?
I 'll finally be able to watch and listen to you live...I booked my ticket, booked my flight and hotel...that was incredibly difficult because even though I managed to purchase great Concert tickets, most of the hotels were booked solid all around The Beacon Theatre...I ended up much further from the venue than I would like but it's alright... Thanks for the music Bob Dylan...
Funny story, I randomly had this on tape and randomly pitched it up to D major or so (many older tape players were able to pitch up and down) and Dylan sounded EXACTLY like Eric Cartman. NOT. EVEN. KIDDING.
High school 85 to gas plant 2019..
SPANISH ART, LIKE ALWAYS, BE THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE OF ART.
This albumn ... my fav.My boss became my best friend because of our tastes in music.This sealed the deal.He's gone now but not when I listen to this.
You know what I love most about Bob Dylan? It's the fact that with nearly all the songs I listen to of his for the first time I love, but some songs (this being one) I initially disliked for some reason and wouldn't bother finishing the song, then I'd fully listen to it and sure enough I find out it's an amazing song.

How anybody can dislike bob Dylans music, based on this masterpiece, is a mystery. It's poetry set to music. Lyrics are beautiful , indicative of the world at large, and righteous. Bird fly high by the light of the moon. That glorious harmonica and pressed steel words, a troubadour like I, like him, are few and far between. Oh bird fly high by the light of the moon. Bird fly high by the light of the same moon that we all see. I've seen him play gigs twice and both times were an almost religious experience.
i am your new historylet usstart love on full moon and hightingale
The greatest poet of our times. God bless you, Bob! ❤️
para mim essa é a melhor música do disco INFIDELS de 1983 , eu tinha ele .
the religious period ,good music , yet lyrics leave peadofiles enabled to wreck kids ,
Adan Sandler is great on these one!
Bow bb?
dyl An ... jelly bobby... Where are We Brother?
national treasure / song pertinent even NOW
Dylan is by far the greatest songwriter the world has produced. But his head is also packed with the most amazing fluff and flotsam imaginable. Anyone who takes the bible as literally as he does has serious problems with reality.
Mark Knoffler playing Lead guitar
brilliant
Don't worry, it grows on you. It gets stuck in your head and before you know it you're back here every single morning
Wowhat a great ...p.s.What's a song about? It's the shortest way to the truth ...
I am making this promise now: I will never buy a Grammarly product. I don't even believe that Grammarly Executives raped all those babies at that team-building weekend getaway.
Great, great Dylan song......nice video....I hope they do a Bootleg series on Infidels.......
In my top ten Dylan songs!!!!
im beginning undertsand and like his songs now...
The Absolute Best Song Writer on the Planet we'll Never see another like him......
OH , RBERT ZIMMY, ....and AVE...?? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ahhh vício bom. É bob Dylan 😍😍😍
UM VÍCIO MUITO BOM NÉ
I remember getting this album when it first came out - combining Dylan with my guitar hero, Knofler. I was blown away by this album. It still holds up well.
Never gets old

This should been the soundtrack of Joker 2019
that Jesus Christ be the only name ever given ... all the letters lead to that name . . we think it was her secrets of her secrets ... perhaps the confusion of the soul has an vagina ... ghow far could we be mistaken in the depths of misunu . another question what do you think that g really means .. bet we can cross our legs tighter than yours ... Prove it ... Sheckle Woman.
