Bob Dylan - Dignity Lyrics
Fat man lookin in a blade of steelThin man lookin at his last mealHollow man lookin in a cottonfieldFor dignityWise man lookin in a blade of grassYoung man lookin in the shadows that passPoor man lookin through painted glassFor dignitySomebody got murdered on new years eveSomebody said dignity was the first to leaveI went into the city, went into the townWent into the land of the midnight sunSearchin high, searchin lowSearchin everywhere I knowAskin the cops wherever I goHave you seen dignity?Blind man breakin out of a trancePuts both his hands in the pockets of chanceHopin to find one circumstanceOf dignityI went to the wedding of mary-louShe said i dont want nobody see me talkin to you? br> said she could get killed if she told me what she knewAbout dignityI went down where the vultures feedI wouldve got deeper, but there wasnt any needHeard the tongues of angels and the tongues of menWasnt any difference to meChilly wind sharp as a razor bladeHouse on fire, debts unpaidGonna stand at the window, gonna ask the maidHave you seen dignity?Drinkin man listens to the voice he hearsIn a crowded room full of covered up mirrorsLookin into the lost forgotten yearsFor dignityMet prince phillip at the home of the bluesSaid hed give me information if his name wasnt usedHe wanted money up front, said he was abusedBy dignityFootprints runnin cross the sliver sandSteps goin down into tattoo landI met the sons of darkness and the sons of lightIn the bordertowns of despairGot no place to fade, got no coatIm on the rollin river in a jerkin boatTryin to read a note somebody wroteAbout dignitySick man lookin for the doctors cureLookin at his hands for the lines that wereAnd into every masterpiece of literatureFor dignityEnglishman stranded in the blackheart windCombin his hair back, his future looks thinBites the bullet and he looks withinFor dignitySomeone showed me a picture and I just laughedDignity never been photographedI went into the red, went into the blackInto the valley of dry bone dreamsSo many roads, so much at stakeSo many dead ends, Im at the edge of the lakeSometimes I wonder what its gonna takeTo find dignity
