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
|
|
[Verse 1: Devlin]
|
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...
|
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 and...
|
I was a failed man and worse I couldn't give a fuck
|
Save your wine for the entrepreneurs
|
|
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
|
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
|
|
[Verse 2: Devlin]
|
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 flavour 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
|
Some are lost some are...
|
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: Ed Sheeran]
|
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
|
|
[Verse 3: Devlin]
|
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
|
|
[Chorus: Ed Sheeran]
|
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
|
