      From: roffexx@gmail.com              "Talkin' World War lll Blues"       by Bob Dylan              Some time ago a crazy dream came to me       I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three       I went to the doctor the very next day       To see what kinda words he could say       He said it was a bad dream       I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though       They were my own dreams and they're only in my head              I said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain"       He said, "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insane"       He grabbed my arm, I said, "Ouch!"       As I landed on the psychiatric couch       He said, "Tell me about it"              Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast       It was all over by quarter past       I was down in the sewer with some little lover       When I peeked out from a manhole cover       Wondering who turned the lights on              Well, I got up and walked around       And up and down the lonesome town       I stood a-wondering which way to go       I lit a cigarette on a parking meter and walked on down the road       It was a normal day              Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell       And I leaned my head and I gave a yell       "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man"       A shotgun fired and away I ran       I don't blame them too much though       They didn't know me              Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand       I seen a man       I said, "Howdy friend, I guess there's just us two"       He screamed a bit and away he flew       Thought I was a Communist              Well, I spied me a girl and before she could leave       "Let's go and play Adam and Eve"       I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'       When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin'       You see what happened last time they started"              Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown       And there was nobody aroun'       I got into the driver's seat       And I drove down to 42nd Street       In my Cadillac. Good car to drive after a war              Well, I remember seein' some ad       So I turned on my Conelrad       But I didn't pay my Con Ed bill       So the radio didn't work so well       Turned on my record player—       It was Rock-a-day Johnny singin', "Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa       Our Love's A-gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah"              I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue       I needed somebody to talk to       So I called up the operator of time       Just to hear a voice of some kind       "When you hear the beep it will be three o'clock"       She said that for over an hour       And I hung up              Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then       Sayin', "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams       But mine was a little different you see       I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me       I didn't see you around"              Well, now time passed and now it seems       Everybody's having them dreams       Everybody sees themselves       Walkin' around with no one else       Half of the people can be part right all of the time       Some of the people can be all right part of the time       But all of the people can't be all right all of the time       I think Abraham Lincoln said that       "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours"       I said that              Written by Bob Dylan © 1963              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
