《Visions of Johanna(Live， Philadelphia， March 18， 1995)》歌词

[00:00:46] Ain't it just like the night to play tricks

[00:00:51] When you're trying to be so quiet

[00:01:00] Sitting here stranded though we're all doing our best to deny it

[00:01:11] And Louise holds a handful of rain tempting you to defy it

[00:01:22] Lights flicker from the opposite loft

[00:01:29] In this room the heat pipes just cough

[00:01:35] The country music station plays soft

[00:01:38] But there's nothing really nothing to turn off

[00:01:45] Just Louise and her lover so entwined

[00:01:57] And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

[00:02:19] In the empty lot where the ladies Play

[00:02:23] Blindman's bluff with a key chain

[00:02:31] And all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D train

[00:02:41] We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight

[00:02:46] Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane

[00:02:54] Louise she's alright she's just near

[00:03:01] She's delicate and seems like the mirror

[00:03:06] She makes it all so concise and so clear that Johanna's not here

[00:03:18] The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face

[00:03:30] Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place

[00:03:50] Little boy lost he takes himself so seriously

[00:04:02] He brags of his misery he likes to live dangerously

[00:04:13] And when bringing her name up he

[00:04:16] Speaks of her farewell kiss to me

[00:04:25] He's sure got a lot of gall to be so useless and all

[00:04:37] Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall

[00:04:48] How can I explain

[00:04:51] It's so hard to get on

[00:05:00] And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn

[00:06:38] Inside the museums

[00:06:41] Infinity goes up on trial

[00:06:50] Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while

[00:07:01] Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues

[00:07:05] You can tell by the way she smiles

[00:07:15] See the primitive wallflower freeze

[00:07:20] When the jelly-faced women all sneeze

[00:07:25] Hear the one with the mustache say Jeeze I can't find my knees

[00:07:37] Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule

[00:07:49] But these visions of Johanna make it all seem so cruel

[00:08:04] The peddlar now speaks

[00:08:07] To the countess who's pretending to care for him

[00:08:14] Saying name me someone that's not a parasite

[00:08:18] And I'll go out and say a prayer for him

[00:08:26] But like Louise always says you can't look at much can you man

[00:08:30] As she herself prepares for him

[00:08:38] And Madonna she still has not showed

[00:08:44] We see this empty cage now corrode

[00:08:50] Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

[00:08:56] The fiddler now steps to the road

[00:09:02] He writes everything's been returned which was owed

[00:09:07] On the back of the fish truck that loads

[00:09:11] While my conscience explodes

[00:09:18] Oh the harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain

[00:09:31] And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

[00:09:45] And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
