Lyrics XTC – All Along The Watchtower

There must be some kind of way out of here, said the joker to the thief,
There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief.
Businessman, just drinks my wine, and the plowmen dig my earth,
Nobody all along this line knows it, what it is even worth

There are many here among us who feel that this life is nothing but one joke

Two riders were approaching, and the wind begins to…

All along the watchtower, all along the watchtower…
