  • Visions of johanna
    Bob Dylan

    Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

    We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it

    And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it

    Lights flicker from the opposite loft

    In this room the heat pipes just cough

    The country music station plays soft

    But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off

    Just Louise and her lover so entwined

    And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

    In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain

    And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train

    We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight

    Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane

    Louise, she's all right, she's just near

    She's delicate and seems like the mirror

    But she just makes it all too concise and too clear

    That Johanna's not here

    The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face

    Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place

    Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously

    He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously

    And when bringing her name up

    He speaks of a farewell kiss to me

    He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all

    Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall

    How can I explain?

    Oh, it's so hard to get on

    And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

    Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial

    Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while

    But Mona Lisa must had the highway blues

    You can tell by the way she smiles

    See the primitive wallflower freeze

    When the jelly-faced women all sneeze

    Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze

    I can't find my knees"

    Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule

    But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

    The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him

    Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"

    But like Louise always says
    "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"

    As she, herself, prepares for him

    And Madonna, she still has not showed

    We see this empty cage now corrode
    Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

    The fiddler, he now steps to the road

    He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed

    On the back of the fish truck that loads

    While my conscience explodes

    The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain

    And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
