Visions of Johanna (乔安娜的幻想) (Take 8) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]

Written by：Bob Dylan[00:00:01]

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks[00:00:16]

When you're tryin' to be so quiet[00:00:19]

We sit here stranded[00:00:26]

Though we're all doin' our best to deny it[00:00:29]

And louise holds a handful of rain[00:00:35]

Tempting you to defy it[00:00:39]

Lights flicker from the opposite loft[00:00:45]

In this room the heat pipes just cough[00:00:50]

The country music station plays soft[00:00:55]

But there's nothing really nothing to turn off[00:00:58]

Just louise and her lover[00:01:04]

So entwined[00:01:07]

And these visions of johanna[00:01:13]

That conquer my mind[00:01:18]

In the empty lot where the ladies play[00:01:27]

Blindman's bluff with the keychain[00:01:31]

And the all night girls they whisper of[00:01:37]

Escapades out on the d train[00:01:42]

We can hear the night watchman[00:01:47]

Click his flashlight[00:01:49]

Ask himself if it's him or them[00:01:50]

It's insane[00:01:52]

Louise she's all right she's just near[00:01:56]

She's delicate and seems like the mirror[00:02:01]

But she just makes it all too concise and too clear[00:02:05]

That johanna's not here[00:02:09]

The ghost of electricity[00:02:15]

Howls in the bones of her face[00:02:18]

Where these visions of johanna[00:02:24]

Have now taken my place[00:02:29]

Now little boy lost[00:02:37]

He takes himself so seriously[00:02:39]

He brags of his misery[00:02:46]

He likes to live dangerously[00:02:48]

And when bringing her name up[00:02:55]

He speaks of a farewell kiss to me[00:02:58]

He's sure got a lotta gall[00:03:05]

To be so useless and all[00:03:10]

Muttering small talk at the wall[00:03:14]

While I'm in the hall[00:03:17]

Oh how can I explain[00:03:23]

It's so hard to get on[00:03:26]

And these visions of johanna[00:03:32]

They kept me up past the dawn[00:03:37]

Inside the museums[00:03:44]

Infinity goes up on trial[00:03:47]

Voices echo 'this is what[00:03:54]

Salvation must be like after a while'[00:03:56]

But mona lisa musta had the highway blues[00:04:03]

You can tell by the way she smiles[00:04:06]

See the primitive wallflower freeze[00:04:12]

When the jelly faced women all sneeze[00:04:17]

Hear the one with the mustache say[00:04:22]

Jeeze I can't find my knees[00:04:24]

Oh jewels and binoculars[00:04:31]

Hang from the head of the mule[00:04:34]

But these visions of johanna[00:04:40]

They make it all seem so cruel[00:04:45]

The peddler now speaks to the countess[00:04:55]

Who's pretending to care for him[00:04:58]

Sayin' name me someone that's not a parasite[00:05:04]

And I'll go out and say a prayer for him[00:05:08]

But like louise always says[00:05:13]

You can't look at much can you man[00:05:14]

As she herself prepares for him[00:05:16]

And madonna she still has not showed[00:05:23]

We see this empty cage now corrode[00:05:27]

Where her cape of the stage once had flowed[00:05:31]

The fiddler he now steps to the road[00:05:36]

He writes every thing's been returned which was owed[00:05:41]

We see this empty cage now corrode[00:05:45]

On the back of the fish truck that loads[00:05:50]

While my conscience explodes[00:05:54]

The harmonicas play[00:05:59]

The skeleton keys and the rain[00:06:02]

And these visions of johanna[00:06:09]

Are all that remain[00:06:13]
