Subterranean Homesick Blues
Lyricist:Bob Dylan
Johnny's in the basement mixin' up the medicine I'm on the pavement thinkin' about the government A man in a trench coat, badge out, laid off He says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off
Look out kid, it's somethin' you did
God knows when but you're doin' it again You better duck down the alley way lookin' for a new friend Man in the coon skin cap in the big pen Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot Talkin' 'bout the heat, put plants in the bed but The phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says that many say They must bust in early May, orders from the D. A
Look out kid, it's somethin' you did
Walk on your tip toes, don't try no doors Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose Keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes You don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
Hey, get sick, get well, hang around a ink well Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Hang bell, hard to tell if anythin' is goin' to sell Try hard, get barred, get back, write Braille Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail
Look out kid, you're gonna get hit
By losers, cheaters, six time users Hang around the theaters The girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool Don't follow leaders and watch those parkin' meters
Ah, get born, keep on short pants, romance Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed, try to be a success Please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift Twenty years of schootin' and they put you on the day shift
Look out kid, keep it all hid
Jump down a manhole, Light yourself a candle Don't wear sandals, try to avoid the scandals Don't wanna be a bum, you better chew gum The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handles
Okay
