Hawkwind - Joker At The Gate Lyrics
People function, dreaming their dreams.People function, scheming their schemesPeople function, trusting to fateLooking for the Joker, but it's too lateIs there still a moment somewhereThat will surprise us with its tricks?I am the holder of seven dreamsFaceless possessor of all life's schemesThrough me you can laugh in the face of fateI am the Joker at your gateLOOKING IN THE FUTURE( - ? - )Lives of great men all remind uswe may make our lives sublimeAnd so departing leave behing usFootprints in the sands of timeAnd with the writing I will show youLooking in the days beyond recallAs I lecture with the spirits on theother sideI'm living in the futureI'm looking in the futureI'm living in the futureNot a sound was heardNo call came from the birdOnly the carpet of greenFrom towering tres was seenWhere have they all gone?Why was there no song?I'm living in the futureLooking at the past
