All along the watch tower

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.
Oddly I am thinking of escape, and listening to Dave Mason's version of the watch tower. I can't get no relief, and I do not have much patience, and I do not know what the future holds, and I am afraid to look into my crystal ball. It sits collecting dust next to the sea shells and pictures of the sea. The crystal ball sits on brass dolphin tails, it waits. Time is relative, I do not know the year, but I know that I too gather dust.
