The Joker at the Gate - Hawkwind

People function, dreaming their dreams

People function, scheming their schemes

People function, trusting to fate

Looking for the Joker, but it’s too late

Is there still a moment somewhere

That will surprise us with its tricks?

I am the holder of seven dreams

Faceless possessor of all life’s schemes

Through me you can laugh in the face of fate

I am the Joker at your gate
