NEIGHBORHOOD BULLY MAN OF PEACE |
Standing on the waters casting
your bread
Jokerman dance to the nightingale
tune,
So swiftly the sun sets in
the sky,
Jokerman dance to the nightingale
tune,
You're a man of the mountains,
you can walk on the clouds,
Jokerman dance to the nightingale
tune,
Well, the Book of Leviticus
and Deuteronomy,
Jokerman dance to the nightingale
tune,
Well, the rifleman's stalking
the sick and the lame,
Jokerman dance to the nightingale
tune,
It's a shadowy world, skies
are slippery gray,
Oh,
Jokerman, you know what he wants,
Jokerman dance to the nightingale
tune,
|
Well, the pressure's down,
the boss ain't here,
You know, I once knew a woman
who looked like you,
You know, a woman like you
should be at home,
You know you can make a name
for yourself,
You know, news of you has
come down the line
Got to be an important person
to be in here, honey,
They say that patriotism is
the last refuge
|
Well, the neighborhood bully,
he's just one man,
The neighborhood bully just
lives to survive,
The neighborhood bully been
driven out of every land,
Well, he knocked out a lynch
mob, he was criticized,
Well, the chances are against
it and the odds are slim
He got no allies to really
speak of.
Well, he's surrounded by pacifists
who all want peace,
Every empire that's enslaved
him is gone,
Now his holiest books have
been trampled upon,
What's anybody indebted to
him for?
What has he done to wear so
many scars?
|
Look out your window, baby,
He got a sweet gift of gab,
Well, first he's in the background,
Well, he catch you when you're
hoping
Well, he can be fascinating,
He's a great humanitarian,
Well, the howling wolf will
howl tonight,
Somewhere Mama's weeping
