| | | Artist: | Bob Dylan |
| | Album: | Bringing It All Back Home | | Track: | Subterranean Homesick Blues | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 157 | | | | Lyrics: | Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about
the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
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
The 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' that 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
Don't matter
what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
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
Get sick,
get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything 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
But users, cheaters
Six-time
losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new
fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters
Ah get born, keep
warm
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
schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all
hid
Better 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
