[00:00.00]	作词 : Dylan
[00:06.03]	Visions of johanna
[00:07.41]	Bob Dylan
[00:16.68]	Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
[00:24.62]	We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
[00:36.19]	And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
[00:45.62]	Lights flicker from the opposite loft
[00:51.00]	In this room the heat pipes just cough
[00:55.25]	The country music station plays soft
[00:58.81]	But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
[01:04.06]	Just Louise and her lover so entwined
[01:13.62]	And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
[01:28.12]	In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
[01:37.92]	And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
[01:47.42]	We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
[01:50.60]	Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
[01:56.67]	Louise, she's all right, she's just near
[02:01.66]	She's delicate and seems like the mirror
[02:05.98]	But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
[02:10.35]	That Johanna's not here
[02:15.35]	The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
[02:24.85]	Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
[02:35.54]	Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
[02:46.85]	He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
[02:55.60]	And when bringing her name up
[02:57.79]	He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
[03:05.29]	He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
[03:14.60]	Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
[03:23.54]	How can I explain?
[03:26.66]	Oh, it's so hard to get on
[03:32.79]	And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn
[03:44.41]	Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
[03:54.29]	Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
[04:03.60]	But Mona Lisa must had the highway blues
[04:06.60]	You can tell by the way she smiles
[04:12.85]	See the primitive wallflower freeze
[04:16.73]	When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
[04:22.04]	Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
[04:25.66]	I can't find my knees"
[04:31.66]	Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
[04:38.23]	But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel
[04:55.10]	The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
[05:04.47]	Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
[05:12.22]
[05:12.97]	But like Louise always says
[05:14.78]	"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
[05:16.72]	As she, herself, prepares for him
[05:22.90]	And Madonna, she still has not showed
[05:27.35]	We see this empty cage now corrode
[05:31.65]	Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
[05:36.47]	The fiddler, he now steps to the road
[05:41.03]	He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
[05:45.53]	On the back of the fish truck that loads
[05:50.22]
[05:54.12]	While my conscience explodes
[05:59.62]	The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
[06:08.81]	And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
