Viewing Lyrics for Ballad Of A Thin Man:
| | | Artist: | Bob Dylan |
| | Album: | Highway 61 Revisited | | Track: | Ballad Of A Thin Man | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 1 | | | | Lyrics: | You walk into the room
With your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked
And
you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard
But you don't understand
Just what
you'll say
When you get home
Because something is happening here
But
you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You raise up your head
And you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says
"It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?"
And somebody else says, "Where what is?"
And you
say, "Oh my God
Am I here all alone?"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You hand in your
ticket
And you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you
When he hears
you speak
And says, "How does it feel
To be such a freak?"
And you say,
"Impossible"
As he hands you a bone
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
You have many contacts
Among the lumberjacks
To get you facts
When someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway they already expect you
To just give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
You've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and
crooks
You've been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well
read
It's well known
Because something is happening here
But you don't
know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up
to you
And then he kneels
He crosses himself
And then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice
He asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your
throat back
Thanks for the loan"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Now you see this one-eyed
midget
Shouting the word "NOW"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says,
"How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"
Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, you walk into the
room
Like a camel and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket
And your
nose on the ground
There ought to be a law
Against you comin' around
You should
be made
To wear earphones
Because something is happening here
But you
don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones | | | |
