Bob Dylan: All Along the Watchtower

For the weekend, a guilty pleasure.

There must be somewhere outta here:




For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed
And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights
And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen
Isaiah 21
