- All Along The Watchtower Lyrics"There must be some kinda way out of here"
Said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief"
"Businessmen, they, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth", hey
"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", hey
Hey
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, hey
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower

The joker and the thief were crucified at the same time as Jesus one on each side. The song is their conversation. The two riders are coming to announce the destruction of Babylon.
