Watchtower Lyrics - Devlin

There must be some kind of way out of here 

Said the joker to the thief, yeah 

There's too much confusion 

Mmm I can't get no relief 

Business men, they drink my wine 

Plowman dig my earth 

None were level on the mind 

No one up at his word 

Yeah, I see jokers on my left, thieves upon my right 

You'd 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 attributed to mine 

In the pitch black, it's too cold 

I'm all alone take me back to the roads I had to roam 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 plowman and worked from the earth up 

Save your wine for the entrepreneurs 

Well 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 (like a failed man I worked from the earth up) 

Two riders were approaching 

And the wind begins to howl ('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 savoir 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 a 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 

So we are not so unalike 

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 lyrics 

Well 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 begins to howl 

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 superstitious 

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 

Well all along the watchtower 

Princes kept the view oh oh oh 

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 begins to howl
