Visions of Johanna (Take 5, Rehearsal) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan[00:00:01]
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks[00:00:11]
When you're tryin' to be so quiet[00:00:15]
We sit here stranded[00:00:22]
Though we're all doin' our best to deny it[00:00:24]
And louise holds a handful of rain[00:00:32]
Tempting you to defy it[00:00:35]
Lights flicker from the opposite loft[00:00:43]
In this room the heat pipes just cough[00:00:48]
The country music station plays soft[00:00:53]
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off[00:00:57]
Just louise and her lover[00:01:03]
So entwined[00:01:08]
And these visions of johanna[00:01:14]
That conquer my mind[00:01:19]
In the empty lot where the ladies play[00:01:33]
Blindman's bluff with the keychain[00:01:36]
And the all night girls they whisper of[00:01:43]
Escapades out on the d train[00:01:47]
We can hear the night watchman[00:01:54]
Click his flashlight[00:01:57]
Ask himself if it's him or them[00:01:58]
It's insane[00:01:59]
Louise she's all right she's just near[00:02:05]
She's delicate and seems like the mirror[00:02:11]
But she just makes it all to clear[00:02:15]
That johanna's not here[00:02:19]
The ghost of electricity[00:02:24]
Howls in the bones of her face[00:02:29]
Where these visions of johanna[00:02:36]
Have now taken my place[00:02:42]
Now little boy lost[00:02:53]
He takes himself so seriously[00:02:55]
He brags of his misery[00:03:03]
He likes to live dangerously[00:03:06]
And when bringing her name up[00:03:14]
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me[00:03:16]
He's sure got a lotta gall[00:03:25]
To be so useless and all[00:03:30]
Muttering small talk at the wall[00:03:35]
While I'm in the hall[00:03:39]
Oh how can I explain[00:03:44]
It's so hard to get on[00:03:48]
And these visions of johanna[00:03:56]
They kept me up past the dawn[00:04:01]
Inside the museums[00:04:10]
Infinity goes up on trial[00:04:13]
Voices echo 'this is what[00:04:21]
Salvation must be like after a while'[00:04:24]
But mona lisa musta had the highway blues[00:04:32]
You can tell by the way she smiles[00:04:35]
See the primitive wallflower freeze[00:04:42]
When the jelly faced women all sneeze[00:04:47]
Hear the one with the mustache say[00:04:53]
Jeeze I can't find my knees[00:04:56]
Oh jewels and binoculars[00:05:03]
Hang from the head of the mule[00:05:06]
But these visions of johanna[00:05:14]
They make it all seem so cruel[00:05:19]
The peddler now speaks to the countess[00:05:30]
Who's pretending to care for him[00:05:33]
Sayin' name me someone that's not a parasite[00:05:40]
And I'll go out and say a prayer for him[00:05:44]
But like louise always says[00:05:50]
You can't look at much can you man[00:05:53]
As she herself prepares for him[00:05:55]
And madonna she still has not showed[00:06:01]
We see this empty cage now corrode[00:06:06]
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed[00:06:12]
The fiddler he now steps to the road[00:06:17]
He writes every thing's been gone which was owed[00:06:22]
We see this empty cage now corrode[00:06:27]
On the back of the fish truck that loads[00:06:32]
My conscience explodes[00:06:36]
The harmonicas play[00:06:42]
The skeleton keys and the rain[00:06:46]
And these visions of johanna[00:06:53]
Are all that remain[00:06:58]
