[00:00:00] Visions of Johanna (乔安娜的幻想) (Take 8) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:01] Written by：Bob Dylan

[00:00:16] Ain't it just like the night to play tricks

[00:00:19] When you're tryin' to be so quiet

[00:00:26] We sit here stranded

[00:00:29] Though we're all doin' our best to deny it

[00:00:35] And louise holds a handful of rain

[00:00:39] Tempting you to defy it

[00:00:45] Lights flicker from the opposite loft

[00:00:50] In this room the heat pipes just cough

[00:00:55] The country music station plays soft

[00:00:58] But there's nothing really nothing to turn off

[00:01:04] Just louise and her lover

[00:01:07] So entwined

[00:01:13] And these visions of johanna

[00:01:18] That conquer my mind

[00:01:27] In the empty lot where the ladies play

[00:01:31] Blindman's bluff with the keychain

[00:01:37] And the all night girls they whisper of

[00:01:42] Escapades out on the d train

[00:01:47] We can hear the night watchman

[00:01:49] Click his flashlight

[00:01:50] Ask himself if it's him or them

[00:01:52] It's insane

[00:01:56] Louise she's all right she's just near

[00:02:01] She's delicate and seems like the mirror

[00:02:05] But she just makes it all too concise and too clear

[00:02:09] That johanna's not here

[00:02:15] The ghost of electricity

[00:02:18] Howls in the bones of her face

[00:02:24] Where these visions of johanna

[00:02:29] Have now taken my place

[00:02:37] Now little boy lost

[00:02:39] He takes himself so seriously

[00:02:46] He brags of his misery

[00:02:48] He likes to live dangerously

[00:02:55] And when bringing her name up

[00:02:58] He speaks of a farewell kiss to me

[00:03:05] He's sure got a lotta gall

[00:03:10] To be so useless and all

[00:03:14] Muttering small talk at the wall

[00:03:17] While I'm in the hall

[00:03:23] Oh how can I explain

[00:03:26] It's so hard to get on

[00:03:32] And these visions of johanna

[00:03:37] They kept me up past the dawn

[00:03:44] Inside the museums

[00:03:47] Infinity goes up on trial

[00:03:54] Voices echo 'this is what

[00:03:56] Salvation must be like after a while'

[00:04:03] But mona lisa musta had the highway blues

[00:04:06] You can tell by the way she smiles

[00:04:12] See the primitive wallflower freeze

[00:04:17] When the jelly faced women all sneeze

[00:04:22] Hear the one with the mustache say

[00:04:24] Jeeze I can't find my knees

[00:04:31] Oh jewels and binoculars

[00:04:34] Hang from the head of the mule

[00:04:40] But these visions of johanna

[00:04:45] They make it all seem so cruel

[00:04:55] The peddler now speaks to the countess

[00:04:58] Who's pretending to care for him

[00:05:04] Sayin' name me someone that's not a parasite

[00:05:08] And I'll go out and say a prayer for him

[00:05:13] But like louise always says

[00:05:14] You can't look at much can you man

[00:05:16] As she herself prepares for him

[00:05:23] And madonna she still has not showed

[00:05:27] We see this empty cage now corrode

[00:05:31] Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

[00:05:36] The fiddler he now steps to the road

[00:05:41] He writes every thing's been returned which was owed

[00:05:45] We see this empty cage now corrode

[00:05:50] On the back of the fish truck that loads

[00:05:54] While my conscience explodes

[00:05:59] The harmonicas play

[00:06:02] The skeleton keys and the rain

[00:06:09] And these visions of johanna

[00:06:13] Are all that remain
