devlin - (all along the) watchtower lyrics
(intro)
there must be some kind of way out of here
said the joker to the thief, yeah.
there’s too much confusion,
i can’t get no relief.
(verse)
i see jokers on my left, thieves upon my right,
you find me in the middle if i picked a different life.
before my name started tripling in size
but i’m still showing signs, all the tributed tonight.
in the pitch black, it’s too cold,
i’m all alone, take me back to the roads
i had to rode to get here and i’ll hitch back
get a cab to my mother’s house, see my old man and grab a six pack.
tell my brother i love him and give him something that will see him through the hard times.
what’s a brother for? when i’m sick of this life i see,
it has to be my family who lift me off the floor.
make sense of all the madness in a world full of money, full of tears, full of war,
i was a proud man who worked from the earth up
save your whine for the entrepreneurs.
(chorus)
we’re all along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
while all the women came and left, barefoot servants too, yeah.
outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl
two riders were approaching and the wind begins to howl.
(verse)
cause your world is the same as mine,
pour more blood in your cup,
take a sip full of sin and let your taste buds savour the buzz.
the flavor of an ill-mannered nature
that lingers on as animals in all of us,
trying to fight for the right to live a life
but some will never win though, that’s why they live a lie.
i don’t think i’ll ever win all of this is anything,
when i die i hope my brother’s at my side,
there’s no trap door or get out clause,
the world can be your oyster or a set of jail doors
you’ve seen mine, i think it’s time i see yours,
i bet you that we’ve been scarred by the same swords
some are lost, some are a life,
apart from the fact i live my life in the light
and now i’m trapped in it.
the way i feel within a few years time,
i might have a couple kids and just forget i ever wrote this.
(chorus)
we’re all along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
while all the women came and went, barefoot servants too, yeah.
outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl
two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl.
(bridge)
take away the treasure of a man
convinced that he holds heaven in his hands.
even though i ain’t religious , i’m a little superst-tious
maybe there is a promised land,
but will i make it or not is a different matter,
i’ve been a joker, i’ve been a thief, i’ve been a rapper,
i’ve been the only enemy that i can never beat,
give me a piece of mind upon a platinum platter.
(chorus)
we’re all along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
while all the women came and went, barefoot servants too, yeah.
outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl
two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl.
