Bob Dylan - Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight Lyrics
Just a minute before you leave, girl,Just a minute before you touch the door.What is it that youre trying to achieve, girl?Do you think we can talk about it some more?You know, the streets are filled with vipersWhove lost all ray of hope,You know, it aint even safe no moreIn the palace of the pope.Dont fall apart on me tonight,I just dont think that I could handle it.Dont fall apart on me tonight,Yesterdays just a memory,Tomorrow is never what its supposed to beAnd I need you, yeah.Come over here from over there, girl,Sit down here. you can have my chair.I cant see us goin anywhere, girl.The only place open is a thousand miles away and I cant take you there.I wish Id have been a doctor,Maybe Id have saved some life that had been lost,Maybe Id have done some good in the worldstead of burning every bridge I crossed.Dont fall apart on me tonight,I just dont think that I could handle it.Dont fall apart on me tonight,Yesterdays just a memory,Tomorrow is never what its supposed to beAnd I need you, oh, yeah.I aint too good at conversation, girl,So you might not know exactly how I feel,But if I could, Id bring you to the mountaintop, girl,And build you a house made out of stainless steel.But its like Im stuck inside a paintingThats hanging in the louvre,My throat start to tickle and my nose itchesBut I know that I cant move.Dont fall apart on me tonight,I just dont think that I could handle it.Dont fall apart on me tonight,Yesterdays gone but the past lives on,Tomorrows just one step beyondAnd I need you, oh, yeah.Who are these people who are walking towards you?Do you know them or will there be a fight?With their humorless smiles so easy to see through,Can they tell you whats wrong from whats right?Do you remember st. james streetWhere you blew jackie p.s mind?You were so fine, clark gable would have fell at your feetAnd laid his life on the line.Lets try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,No more *****y traps and bombs,No more decadence and charm,No more affection thats misplaced, girl,No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms.What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants?He looked so baffled and so bewilderedWhen he played and we didnt dance.Dont fall apart on me tonight,I just dont think that I could handle it.Dont fall apart on me tonight,Yesterdays just a memory,Tomorrow is never what its supposed to beAnd I need you, yeah.
