Devlin - Watchtower Lyrics
[Featuring: Ed Sheeran]There must be some kind of way out of hereSaid the joker to the thiefThere's too much confusionI can't get no reliefYeah, I see jokers on my leftThieves up on my rightYou'd find me in the middle if I picked a different lifeBefore my name started tripling in sizeBut I'm still showing signs all the (?) alignIn the pitch black, it's too coldI'm all alone take me back to the roads I had to roamTo get here and I'll hitch backGet a cab to my mother's house,See my old man and grab a six packTell my brother I love himAnd give him something that will see him through the hard timesWhat'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 madnessIn a world full of money, full of tears, full of warI was a failed man and worse I couldn't give a f*ckSave your wine for the entrepreneursAll along the watchtowerPrincess kept the viewWhile all the women came and wentBarefoot servants, tooOutside in the cold distanceA wildcat did growlTwo riders were approachingAnd the wind begins to howl'Cause your world is the same as minePour 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 usTrying to fight for the right to live a lifeBut some will never win thoughThat's why they live a lieI don't think I'll ever winAll of this is anythingWhen I die I hope a brother's at my sideThere's no trap door, or get out clauseThe world can be your oyster or a set of jail doorsYou've seen mine, I think it's time I see yoursI bet you that we've been scarred by the same swordsSome have lost someone they likeApart from the fact I live my life in the lightAnd now I'm trapped in itThe way I feel, within a few years timeI might have a couple kids and just forget I ever wrote thisAll along the watchtowerPrincess kept the viewWhile all the women came and wentBarefoot servants, tooOutside in the cold distanceA wildcat did growlTwo riders were approachingAnd the wind begins to howlTake away the treasure of a man,Convinced that he holds heaven in his handsEven though I ain't religious I'm a little superstitious,Maybe there is a promised landBut will I make it or not is a different matterI've been a joker, I've been a thief, I've been a rapperI've been the only enemy that I can never beatGive me a piece of mind upon a platinum platterWe're all along the watchtowerPrincess kept the viewWhile all the women came and wentBarefoot servants, tooOutside in the cold distanceA wildcat did growlTwo riders were approachingAnd the wind begins to howl
