Bob Dylan - Visions Of Johanna Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Aint it just like the night to play tricks when youre tryin to be so quiet?
  • We sit here stranded, though were all doin our best to deny it
  • And louise holds a handful of rain, temptin you to defy it
  • Lights flicker from the opposite loft
  • In this room the heat pipes just cough
  • The country music station plays soft
  • But theres nothing, really nothing to turn off
  • Just louise and her lover so entwined
  • And these visions of johanna that conquer my mind
  • In the empty lot where the ladies play blindmans bluff with the key chain
  • And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the d train
  • We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
  • Ask himself if its him or them thats really insane
  • Louise, shes all right, shes just near
  • Shes delicate and seems like the mirror
  • But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
  • That johannas not here
  • The ghost of lectricity howls in the bones of her face
  • Where these visions of johanna have now taken my place
  • Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
  • He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
  • And when bringing her name up
  • He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
  • Hes sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
  • Muttering small talk at the wall while Im in the hall
  • How can I explain?
  • Oh, its so hard to get on
  • And these visions of johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
  • Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
  • Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
  • But mona lisa musta had the highway blues
  • You can tell by the way she smiles
  • See the primitive wallflower freeze
  • When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
  • Hear the one with the mustache say, jeeze
  • I cant find my knees
  • Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
  • But these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
  • The peddler now speaks to the countess whos pretending to care for him
  • Sayin, name me someone thats not a parasite and Ill go out and say a prayer for him
  • But like louise always says
  • Ya cant look at much, can ya man?
  • As she, herself, prepares for him
  • And madonna, she still has not showed
  • We see this empty cage now corrode
  • Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
  • The fiddler, he now steps to the road
  • He writes evrythings been returned which was owed
  • On the back of the fish truck that loads
  • While my conscience explodes
  • The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
  • And these visions of johanna are now all that remain
