I feel like:
I'm stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again....
I've seen the greatest minds of my generation destroyed by madness....
drank to the turmoil of the world and the price to survive
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it...
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough ..
Angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection -
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off...
Just Louise and her lover SO entwined...
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
...and these Visions of Johanna kept me up until the dawn...
Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk.
And they're singing this note cause it fits in well with the chord I'm playing
...cuz' I'm in tune....right on tune...I'm in tune...and I'm gonna tune.....
Right in on YOU...
Shhh...
There once was a note!
Listen...

And these visions of Johanna

- That conquer my mind -

And these visions of Johanna

- Keep me up until dawn -
