Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan

[00:00.000] 作词 : Dylan
[00:12.50]Ain't it just like the night to play
[00:16.35]Tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet
[00:23.03]We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
[00:33.13]And Louise holds here hand ful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
[00:43.63]Lights flicker from the opposite loft
[00:48.63]In this room the heat pipes just cough
[00:54.13]The country music station plays soft
[00:58.08]But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
[01:04.39]Just Louise and her lover so entwined
[01:14.65]And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
[01:25.90]
[01:35.51]In the empty lot where the ladies play
[01:39.20]Blindman's bluff with the key chain
[01:45.70]And the all-night girls
[01:49.06]They whisper of escapades out on the d train
[01:56.31]We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
[01:59.67]Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
[02:06.55]Louise, she's all right, she's just near
[02:11.74]She's delicate and seems like the mirror
[02:17.11]But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
[02:21.07]That Johanna's not here
[02:27.19]The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
[02:37.69]Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
[02:48.32]
[02:58.32]Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
[03:08.38]He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
[03:18.63]And when bringing her name up
[03:21.76]He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
[03:28.94]He's sure got a lotta gall - to be so useless and all
[03:39.38]Muttering small talk at the wall while i'm in the hall
[03:49.44]How can i explain
[03:52.50]It's so hard to get on
[03:59.63]And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
[04:10.32]
[04:20.32]Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
[04:30.19]Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
[04:40.32]But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
[04:44.11]You can tell by the way she smiles
[04:50.43]See the primitive wallflower freeze
[04:55.87]When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
[05:00.86]Hear the one with the mustache say, jeeze
[05:04.93]I can't find my knees - Oh, jewels and binoculars
[05:14.24]Hang from the head of the mule
[05:21.24]But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
[05:31.93]
[05:41.99]The peddler now speaks to the countess
[05:46.11]Who's pretending to care for him
[05:51.86]Sayin', name me someone that's not a parasite
[05:55.24]And I'll go out and say a prayer for him
[06:02.05]But like Louise always says
[06:04.80]You can't look at much, can you man
[06:07.08]As she, herself, prepares for him
[06:12.14]And Madonna, she still has not showed
[06:17.15]We see this empty cage now corrode
[06:22.33]Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
[06:26.83]The fiddler, he now steps to the road
[06:32.39]He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
[06:37.02]On the back of the fish truck that loads
[06:41.20]While my conscience explodes
[06:47.39]The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
[06:57.39]And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
[07:08.21]
