[00:00:00] Visions of Johanna (Live at the ABC Theatre, Belfast, Ireland - May 1966) - Bob Dylan

[00:00:02] Lyrics by：Bob Dylan

[00:00:03] Composed by：Bob Dylan

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

[00:00:19] To play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet

[00:00:26] We sit here stranded though

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

[00:00:36] And Louise holds a handful of rain

[00:00:40] Temptin' you to defy it

[00:00:46] Lights flicker from the opposite loft

[00:00:52] In this room the heat pipes just cough

[00:00:56] The country music station plays soft

[00:01:00] But there's nothing

[00:01:01] Really nothing to turn off

[00:01:07] Just Louise and her lover so entwined

[00:01:17] And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

[00:01:37] In the empty lot where the ladies

[00:01:40] Play blindman's bluff with the key chain

[00:01:48] And the all-night girls they whisper

[00:01:51] Of escapades out on the D train

[00:01:57] We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight

[00:02:01] Ask himself if it's him or them

[00:02:03] That should be insane

[00:02:06] And louise she's all right

[00:02:08] She's just near

[00:02:11] She's delicate she's seems like the mirror

[00:02:16] But she just makes it all too concise and too clear

[00:02:20] That Johanna's not here

[00:02:26] The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face

[00:02:35] Where these visions of

[00:02:38] Johanna have now taken my place

[00:02:54] Little boy in lost

[00:02:57] He takes himself so seriously

[00:03:04] He brags of his misery

[00:03:06] He likes to live dangerously

[00:03:13] And when bringing her name up

[00:03:16] He speaks of a farewell kiss to me

[00:03:21] He's sure got a lotta

[00:03:23] Gall to be so useless and all

[00:03:29] Muttering small talk at

[00:03:32] The wall while I'm in the hall

[00:03:38] Ooo

[00:03:38] How can I explain

[00:03:42] It's so hard to get on

[00:03:48] And these visions of Johanna

[00:03:53] They kept me up past the dawn

[00:04:07] Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial

[00:04:16] Voices echo this is what

[00:04:19] Salvation must be like after a while

[00:04:26] But Mona Lisa musta had the

[00:04:28] Highway blues

[00:04:29] You can tell by the way she smiles

[00:04:34] See the primitive wallflower freeze

[00:04:39] When the jelly-faced women all sneeze

[00:04:43] Hear the one with the mustache say

[00:04:46] Jeez I can't find my knees

[00:04:53] Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule

[00:05:02] But these visions of Johanna

[00:05:07] They make it all seem so cruel

[00:05:22] The peddler now speaks to the

[00:05:25] Countess who's pretending to care for him

[00:05:31] Sayin'

[00:05:31] Name me somebody it's wanna

[00:05:33] Parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him

[00:05:41] But like Louise always says

[00:05:43] Ya can't look at much

[00:05:44] Can ya man

[00:05:45] As she herself prepares for him

[00:05:50] And Madonna she still has not showed

[00:05:55] We see this empty cage now corrode

[00:06:00] Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

[00:06:05] The fiddler he now steps to the road

[00:06:09] He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed

[00:06:14] On the back of the fish truck that loads

[00:06:18] While my conscience explodes

[00:06:23] The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain

[00:06:33] And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
