Visions of Johanna (Take 7, Complete) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan[00:00:01]
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks[00:00:15]
When you're tryin' to be so quiet[00:00:18]
We sit here stranded[00:00:27]
Though we're all doin' our best to deny it[00:00:30]
And louise holds a handful of rain[00:00:38]
Tempting you to defy it[00:00:42]
Lights flicker from the opposite loft[00:00:50]
In this room the heat pipes just cough[00:00:57]
The country music station plays soft[00:01:02]
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off[00:01:06]
Just louise and her lover[00:01:13]
So entwined[00:01:19]
And these visions of johanna[00:01:26]
That conquer my mind[00:01:32]
In the empty lot where the ladies play[00:01:41]
Blindman's bluff with the keychain[00:01:44]
And the all night girls they whisper of[00:01:53]
Escapades out on the d train[00:01:56]
We can hear the night watchman[00:02:05]
Click his flashlight[00:02:07]
Ask himself if it's him or them[00:02:08]
It's rerally insane[00:02:09]
Louise she's all right she's just near[00:02:17]
She's delicate and seems like the mirror[00:02:23]
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear[00:02:29]
That johanna's not here[00:02:33]
The ghost of electricity[00:02:41]
Howls in the bones of her face[00:02:45]
Where these visions of johanna[00:02:53]
Have now taken my place[00:02:59]
Now little boy lost[00:03:09]
He takes himself so seriously[00:03:11]
He brags of his misery[00:03:21]
He likes to live dangerously[00:03:24]
And when bringing her name up[00:03:33]
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me[00:03:36]
He's sure got a lotta gall[00:03:47]
To be so useless and all[00:03:51]
Muttering small talk at the wall[00:03:57]
While I'm in the hall[00:04:02]
Oh how can I explain[00:04:09]
It's so hard to get on[00:04:13]
And these visions of johanna[00:04:21]
They kept me up past the dawn[00:04:27]
Inside the museums[00:04:34]
Infinity goes up on trial[00:04:37]
Voices echo 'this is what[00:04:47]
Salvation must be like after a while'[00:04:49]
But mona lisa musta had the highway blues[00:04:59]
You can tell by the way she smiles[00:05:01]
See the primitive wallflower freeze[00:05:11]
When the jelly faced women all sneeze[00:05:17]
Hear the one with the mustache say[00:05:23]
Jeeze I can't find my knees[00:05:26]
Oh jewels and binoculars[00:05:34]
Hang from the head of the mule[00:05:38]
But these visions of johanna[00:05:47]
They make it all seem so cruel[00:05:53]
The peddler now speaks to the countess[00:06:16]
Who's pretending to care for him[00:06:19]
Sayin' name me someone that's not a parasite[00:06:27]
And I'll go out and say a prayer for him[00:06:31]
But like louise always says[00:06:39]
You can't look at much can you man[00:06:41]
As she herself prepares for him[00:06:43]
And madonna she still has not showed[00:06:51]
We see this empty cage now corrode[00:06:57]
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed[00:07:03]
The fiddler he now steps to the road[00:07:10]
He writes every thing's been returned which was owed[00:07:16]
We see this empty cage now corrode[00:07:22]
On the back of the fish truck that loads[00:07:28]
While my conscience explodes[00:07:32]
The harmonicas play[00:07:39]
The skeleton keys and the rain[00:07:43]
And these visions of johanna[00:07:51]
Are all that remain[00:07:57]
