The lyrics of this song are a discussion of the existential condition and a warning of the need to prepare for death, according to some interpretations. The song is also a cover of Bob Dylan's original version, which was inspired by his near-death experience after a motorcycle accident. The song features a guitar solo by Jimi Hendrix and a Vibraslap by Mitch Mitchell. All Along the Watchtower Lyrics by Bob Dylan from the Electric Lunch album- including song video, artist biography, translations and more: There must be some way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Bus… "There must be some way out of here" Said the joker to the thief "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief Businessmen they drink my wine, plowman dig my earth None of them along the line know what any of it is worth" "No need to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke "There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke All along the watchtower Princess kept the view, While all the women came and went, Barefoot servants, too, but, uh Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl, Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl. All along the watchtower. Gotta beware, gotta beware, I will. All along the watchtower "No reason to get excited", the thief, he kindly spoke "There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke But you and I, we've been through that and this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late" All along the watchtower, princes kept the view While all the women came and went and barefoot servants This is for a poetry assignment for school.
