Jokerman



Caetano Veloso from 1992

standing on the waters 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
but with the truth so far off
what good will it do?
jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
bird fly high by the light of the moon
oh oh oh jokerman
--bob dylan (from "jokerman ")
