Visions of Johanna (Live at the ABC Theatre, Belfast, Ireland - May 1966) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Lyrics by:Bob Dylan[00:00:02]
Composed by:Bob Dylan[00:00:03]
Ain't it just like the night[00:00:16]
To play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet[00:00:19]
We sit here stranded though[00:00:26]
We're all doin' our best to deny it[00:00:29]
And Louise holds a handful of rain[00:00:36]
Temptin' you to defy it[00:00:40]
Lights flicker from the opposite loft[00:00:46]
In this room the heat pipes just cough[00:00:52]
The country music station plays soft[00:00:56]
But there's nothing[00:01:00]
Really nothing to turn off[00:01:01]
Just Louise and her lover so entwined[00:01:07]
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind[00:01:17]
In the empty lot where the ladies[00:01:37]
Play blindman's bluff with the key chain[00:01:40]
And the all-night girls they whisper[00:01:48]
Of escapades out on the D train[00:01:51]
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight[00:01:57]
Ask himself if it's him or them[00:02:01]
That should be insane[00:02:03]
And louise she's all right[00:02:06]
She's just near[00:02:08]
She's delicate she's seems like the mirror[00:02:11]
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear[00:02:16]
That Johanna's not here[00:02:20]
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face[00:02:26]
Where these visions of[00:02:35]
Johanna have now taken my place[00:02:38]
Little boy in lost[00:02:54]
He takes himself so seriously[00:02:57]
He brags of his misery[00:03:04]
He likes to live dangerously[00:03:06]
And when bringing her name up[00:03:13]
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me[00:03:16]
He's sure got a lotta[00:03:21]
Gall to be so useless and all[00:03:23]
Muttering small talk at[00:03:29]
The wall while I'm in the hall[00:03:32]
Ooo[00:03:38]
How can I explain[00:03:38]
It's so hard to get on[00:03:42]
And these visions of Johanna[00:03:48]
They kept me up past the dawn[00:03:53]
Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial[00:04:07]
Voices echo this is what[00:04:16]
Salvation must be like after a while[00:04:19]
But Mona Lisa musta had the[00:04:26]
Highway blues[00:04:28]
You can tell by the way she smiles[00:04:29]
See the primitive wallflower freeze[00:04:34]
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze[00:04:39]
Hear the one with the mustache say[00:04:43]
Jeez I can't find my knees[00:04:46]
Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule[00:04:53]
But these visions of Johanna[00:05:02]
They make it all seem so cruel[00:05:07]
The peddler now speaks to the[00:05:22]
Countess who's pretending to care for him[00:05:25]
Sayin'[00:05:31]
Name me somebody it's wanna[00:05:31]
Parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him[00:05:33]
But like Louise always says[00:05:41]
Ya can't look at much[00:05:43]
Can ya man[00:05:44]
As she herself prepares for him[00:05:45]
And Madonna she still has not showed[00:05:50]
We see this empty cage now corrode[00:05:55]
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed[00:06:00]
The fiddler he now steps to the road[00:06:05]
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed[00:06:09]
On the back of the fish truck that loads[00:06:14]
While my conscience explodes[00:06:18]
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain[00:06:23]
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain[00:06:33]
