[00:00:00] Visions of Johanna (Take 5, Rehearsal) - Bob Dylan

[00:00:01] Written by：Bob Dylan

[00:00:11] Ain't it just like the night to play tricks

[00:00:15] When you're tryin' to be so quiet

[00:00:22] We sit here stranded

[00:00:24] Though we're all doin' our best to deny it

[00:00:32] And louise holds a handful of rain

[00:00:35] Tempting you to defy it

[00:00:43] Lights flicker from the opposite loft

[00:00:48] In this room the heat pipes just cough

[00:00:53] The country music station plays soft

[00:00:57] But there's nothing really nothing to turn off

[00:01:03] Just louise and her lover

[00:01:08] So entwined

[00:01:14] And these visions of johanna

[00:01:19] That conquer my mind

[00:01:33] In the empty lot where the ladies play

[00:01:36] Blindman's bluff with the keychain

[00:01:43] And the all night girls they whisper of

[00:01:47] Escapades out on the d train

[00:01:54] We can hear the night watchman

[00:01:57] Click his flashlight

[00:01:58] Ask himself if it's him or them

[00:01:59] It's insane

[00:02:05] Louise she's all right she's just near

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

[00:02:15] But she just makes it all to clear

[00:02:19] That johanna's not here

[00:02:24] The ghost of electricity

[00:02:29] Howls in the bones of her face

[00:02:36] Where these visions of johanna

[00:02:42] Have now taken my place

[00:02:53] Now little boy lost

[00:02:55] He takes himself so seriously

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

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

[00:03:14] And when bringing her name up

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

[00:03:25] He's sure got a lotta gall

[00:03:30] To be so useless and all

[00:03:35] Muttering small talk at the wall

[00:03:39] While I'm in the hall

[00:03:44] Oh how can I explain

[00:03:48] It's so hard to get on

[00:03:56] And these visions of johanna

[00:04:01] They kept me up past the dawn

[00:04:10] Inside the museums

[00:04:13] Infinity goes up on trial

[00:04:21] Voices echo 'this is what

[00:04:24] Salvation must be like after a while'

[00:04:32] But mona lisa musta had the highway blues

[00:04:35] You can tell by the way she smiles

[00:04:42] See the primitive wallflower freeze

[00:04:47] When the jelly faced women all sneeze

[00:04:53] Hear the one with the mustache say

[00:04:56] Jeeze I can't find my knees

[00:05:03] Oh jewels and binoculars

[00:05:06] Hang from the head of the mule

[00:05:14] But these visions of johanna

[00:05:19] They make it all seem so cruel

[00:05:30] The peddler now speaks to the countess

[00:05:33] Who's pretending to care for him

[00:05:40] Sayin' name me someone that's not a parasite

[00:05:44] And I'll go out and say a prayer for him

[00:05:50] But like louise always says

[00:05:53] You can't look at much can you man

[00:05:55] As she herself prepares for him

[00:06:01] And madonna she still has not showed

[00:06:06] We see this empty cage now corrode

[00:06:12] Where her cape of the stage once had flowed

[00:06:17] The fiddler he now steps to the road

[00:06:22] He writes every thing's been gone which was owed

[00:06:27] We see this empty cage now corrode

[00:06:32] On the back of the fish truck that loads

[00:06:36] My conscience explodes

[00:06:42] The harmonicas play

[00:06:46] The skeleton keys and the rain

[00:06:53] And these visions of johanna

[00:06:58] Are all that remain
