[00:00.00]Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan
[00:06.39]Written by：Bob Dylan
[00:12.78]Ain't it just like the night to play tricks
[00:16.80]When you're trying to be so quiet
[00:23.49]We sit here stranded though we're all doing our best to deny it
[00:33.75]And Louise holds a handful of rain tempting you to defy it
[00:44.04]Lights flicker from the opposite loft
[00:49.47]In this room the heat pipes just cough
[00:54.91]The country music station plays soft
[00:58.27]But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
[01:04.66]Just Louise and her lover so entwined
[01:15.22]And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
[01:35.70]In the empty lot where the ladies play blind man's bluff with the key chain
[01:46.52]And the all night girls they whisper of escapades out on the d train
[01:56.70]We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
[02:00.29]Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane
[02:07.04]Louise she's all right she's just near
[02:12.71]She's delicate and seems like Veneer
[02:17.54]But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
[02:21.30]That Johanna's not here
[02:27.48]The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face
[02:38.11]Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
[02:58.58]Now little boy lost he takes himself so seriously
[03:09.22]He brags of his misery he likes to live dangerously
[03:19.21]And when bringing her name up
[03:22.14]He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
[03:29.36]He's sure got a lot of gall to be so useless and all
[03:40.16]Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
[03:49.56]Oh how can I explain
[03:53.20]It's so hard to get on
[04:00.08]And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn
[04:20.28]Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial
[04:31.10]Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
[04:40.97]But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues
[04:44.47]You can tell by the way she smiles
[04:51.09]See the primitive wallflower freeze
[04:56.55]When the jelly faced women all sneeze
[05:01.37]Hear the one with the mustache say jeez
[05:05.28]I can't find my knees
[05:11.94]Oh jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
[05:21.87]But these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel
[05:42.26]The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
[05:52.57]Saying name me someone that's not a parasite
[05:56.15]And I'll go out and say a prayer for him
[06:02.46]But like Louise always says
[06:05.23]You can't look at much can yo man
[06:07.05]As she herself prepares for him
[06:12.53]And Madonna she still has not showed
[06:17.76]We see this empty cage now corrode
[06:22.96]Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
[06:27.93]The fiddler he now steps to the road
[06:32.80]He writes everything's been returned which was owed
[06:37.78]On the back of the fish truck that loads
[06:41.66]While my conscience explodes
[06:47.64]The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
[06:58.07]And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
