St. Teresa 

Sit down on the corner, just a little climb 

When I make my money, got to get my dime 

Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash 

She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash 

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon 

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon 

Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me 

I know any man sees you like I see 

Follow down the side street movin' single file 

She say... 

That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child 

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon 

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

Just what I've been needin', feel it rise in me 

She say... 

Every stone a story, like a rosary 

Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime 

When I make my money, got to get my dime 

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon 

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon 

You called up in the sky 

You called up in the clouds 

Is there something you forgot to tell me... 

tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me 

Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me 

Every stone a story, like a rosary

Man In the Long Black Coat 

Bob Dylan 

Photos 

Crickets are chirpin' the water is high 

There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry 

Window's wide open African trees 

Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze 

Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note 

She's gone with the man in the long black coat 

Somebody seem him hangin' around 

At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town 

He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask 

If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask 

Somebody said, from the Bible he quote 

There was dust on the man in the long black coat 

Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave 

He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved 

You cannot depend on it to be your guide 

When it's you who must keep it satisfied 

It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat 

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat 

One, two... 

There are no mistakes in life some people say 

It's true sometimes you can see it that way 

People don't live or die, people just float 

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat 

There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June 

Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon 

Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force 

Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse 

She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote 

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

Right Hand Man 

Let me use your toothbrush 

Have you got a clean shirt? 

My panties in a wad 

At the bottom of my purse 

I walk into the street 

The air's so cool 

I'm wired and I'm tired 

And I'm grinnin' like a fool 

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair 

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch 

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed... 

Lookin' for a bed 

Lookin' for my, my... 

My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x) 

Say... my right hand, my right hand man 

My right hand, my right hand man 

My right hand, my right hand man 

If he can't fix it, I don't know who can 

The sinsemilla? salesman 

And the cops on the block 

They know what I been doin' 

They see the way I walk 

I wonder what they see now 

I wonder what they do 

To feel somebody want them 

The way I'm wanting you 

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair 

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch 

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed... 

Lookin' for a bed 

Lookin' for... to really be... 

My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x) 

Say... my right hand, my right hand man 

My right hand, my right hand man 

My right hand, my right hand man 

Use me up if you think you can 

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair 

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch 

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed... 

Lookin' for a bed 

Lookin' for my... 

My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x) 

Say... my right hand, my right hand man 

My right hand, my right hand man 

My right hand, my right hand man 

Say... my right hand, my right hand man (repeat 7x) 

If he can't fix it, gonna find a boy who can

Pensacola 

Well, I found him in Pensacola 

In a trailer in the sand 

The man from the picture 

Creased and yellowed in my hand 

Creased and yellowed in my hand 

He was squinting and stubbled 

And standing in the door 

He said, if you've come to take the car away 

I don't have it anymore 

I don't have it anymore 

He got the gospel on the radio 

And the gospel on tv 

He got all of the transcripts 

Back to 1963 

Back to 1963 

He said I sold my blood for money 

There wasn't any pain 

But I just can't stand the feeling 

It's in someone else's veins 

It's in someone else's veins 

Momma took me aside 

And she tried to change my mind 

She said, don't waste your time in looking 

There's nothing, nothing left to find 

Nothing, nothing left to find 

So I left him down in Pensacola 

In a trailer in the sand 

The man from the picture 

Creased and yellowed in my hand 

Creased and yellowed in my hand

Dracula Moon 

Where are the bones on that one 

What if the cure is worse than the disease 

Serve me up some pretty, pretty people 

Serve me up somebody I can believe 

Don't feel sorry for me 

I hate that look on your face 

You say, just let go 

You say, come back home 

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace 

I'm naked in a hotel room 

My station comin' in, comin' in loud and clear 

I'm makin' out with my one true love 

I'm makin' this hotel room disappear 

Stop feelin' sorry for me 

I hate that look on your face 

You say, just let go 

You say, come back home 

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace 

I say that like fallin' from grace 

You never know it to look at me 

A Dracula moon 

See love come down any way you want to 

Doesn't ask for your permission 

Open up your arms and we will break you in too(two?) 

Stop feelin' sorry for me 

I hate that look on your face 

You say, just let go 

You say, come back home 

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace 

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace... 

Just fallin' 

Just fallin'... 

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world 

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world

One Of Us 

If God had a name, what would it be 

And would you call it to His face 

If you were faced with Him in all His glory 

What would you ask if you had just one question 

Yeah, yeah, God is great 

Yeah, yeah, God is good 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

What if God was one of us 

Just a slob like one of us 

Just a stranger on the bus 

Trying to make His way home 

If God had a face, what would it look like 

And would you want to see 

If seeing meant that you would have to believe 

In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the Saints 

And all the Prophets and... 

Yeah, yeah, God is great 

Yeah, yeah, God is good 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

What if God was one of us 

Just a slob like one of us 

Just a stranger on the bus 

Trying to make His way home 

Tryin' to make His way home 

Back up to Heaven all alone 

Nobody callin' on the phone 

'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome 

Yeah, yeah, God is great 

Yeah, yeah, God is good 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

What if God was one of us 

Just a slob like one of us 

Just a stranger on the bus 

Trying to make His way home 

Just tryin' to make his way home 

Like a holy rolling stone 

Back up to Heaven all alone 

Just tryin' to make his way home 

Nobody callin' on the phone 

'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

Ladder 

Today and every day (repeat 4x) 

I'm standin' here in your closet 

Unbuttonin' all your clothes 

I sleep in your bed tonight 

But I never find you home 

You're givin' me crooked answers 

I'm crackin' your little code 

I'm learnin' another language 

So full it's about to explode 

You give me a ladder now 

I surely believe I'll climb 

It don't even matter now 

I'm willing to take my time 

I'm gonna love you anyway 

Today and every day (repeat 2x) 

I'm gonna love you anyway 

Today and every day (repeat 2x) 

I wanted it to be easy 

I know that I'll make you tired 

Some tell me you're slow and lazy 

Some tell me you're so inspired 

You wanted a long flirtation 

Your plane doesn't ever land 

Some things I don't want to look at 

I don't want to understand but 

You give me a ladder now 

I surely believe I'll climb 

It don't even matter now 

I'm willing to take my time 

I'm gonna love you anyway 

Today and every day (repeat 2x) 

I'm gonna love you anyway 

Today and every day (repeat 2x) 

Today and everyday...

Spider Web 

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night 

And he could see just fine 

Dreamed about Ray Charles last night 

And he could see just fine, you know 

I asked him for a lullaby 

He said, "Honey, I don't sing no more" 

No more, no more, no more 

Ray don't sing no more 

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back, 

my voice has just deserted me. 

No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more... 

I stay in bed with MTV." 

Then Ray took his glasses off 

And I could look inside his head 

Flashing like a thunderstorm 

I saw a shining spider web 

Spider web (repeat 3x) 

In Ray Charles' head 

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night 

He took me flying in the air 

Showed my own spider webs 

Said, "Honey, you had best take care. 

The world is made of spider webs 

The threads are stuck to me and you 

Be careful what you're wishing for 

'Cause when you gain you just might lose" 

You just might lose your... 

Spider web (repeat 3x) 

What Ray Charles said 

When you're feelin' lonely 

When you're hidin' in your bed 

Don't forget your string of pearls 

Don't forget your spider web 

When I go to sleep tonight 

Don't let me dream of brother Ray 

No, no, no, don't... 

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees 

Just like him best the other way 

Spider web (repeat 3x) 

What Ray Charles said... 

In Ray Charles head 

All I got's my spider web 

Keepin' me alive 

C'mon Ray 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Let's Just Get Naked 

I know what you're hidin' from me 

You know what I'm hidin' from you 

I know that you hurt me real bad 

You know that I hurt you bad too 

Let's just get naked 

Just for a laugh 

Let's just get naked 

It's a trip and a half 

Here comes that story again 

All about that television show 

Here comes my typical response 

Won't you tell me something I don't know 

And I'm pissed off about bein' the cops 

And you're pissed off about bein' the maid 

And how long till they shut off the phone 

Till the next time we get laid 

Let's just get naked 

Just for a laugh 

Let's just get naked 

It's a trip and a half... 

A trip and a half 

We've been together so long 

I hope it wasn't just the drugs 

What happened to the energy we had 

The morning glories and the rodeo hugs 

And I know you like the back of my hand 

With a stamp that says I paid to get in 

And yes I am your television show 

And you're the nicest place I've ever been 

Let's just get naked 

Just for a laugh 

Let's just get naked 

It wouldn't be so bad... 

Let's just get naked 

Just for a laugh 

Let's just get naked 

It's a trip and a half...

Help Me 

You gotta help me baby, I can't do it all by myself (repeat 2x) 

If you don't help me daddy 

Gotta find somebody else 

Put on your nightshirt baby, hand me my morning gown (repeat 2x) 

Don't feel sleepy 

I just feel like lyin' down 

Gotta help me baby, help me baby 

Can't do it all by myself 

If you don't help me daddy 

Gotta find somebody else 

Oooh, real quiet, real quiet, real quiet... 

You gotta help me baby, gotta help me baby 

Help me baby (repeat 2x) 

Oooh, oooh, oooh... 

Just want a little lovin' before you pass away (repeat 2x) 

Don't help me daddy, I'm gonna find somebody else...

Crazy Baby 

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful 

As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette 

Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness 

You forget... 

Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with 

And you're cryin' every time you turn around 

And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up 

Off the ground... 

Oh, my crazy baby 

Try to hold on tight 

Oh, my crazy baby 

Don't put out the light... 

The light, the light, the light 

And they look at you like they don't speak your language 

And you're living at the bottom of a well 

And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets 

But you can't tell... 

Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together 

But you cannot bear to walk outside your door 

No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror 

Anymore... 

Oh, my crazy baby 

Try to hold on tight 

Oh, my crazy baby 

Don't put out the light... 

The light, the light, the light 

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful 

As your worries climb around inside your clothes 

Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness 

Heaven knows... 

Oh, my crazy baby 

Try to hold on tight 

Oh, my crazy baby 

Don't put out the light... 

The light, the light, the light 

The light...

Lumina 

Lumina 

Come and wrap around me 

Lumina 

Take me through the snow 

Eve took a train, Eve took a train 

Went to see her man 

Melting inside, melting away 

Like butter in the pan 

Lumina 

Come and wrap around me 

Lumina 

Take me through the snow 

Eve took a fruit, Eve picked a fruit 

Juice ran down her chin 

Babies will put things in their mouths 

Never heard of sin 

Lumina 

Open like the sea 

Lumina 

Sing me in the dark 

Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask 

What is wrong with this 

Here is the place, now is the time 

Let's invent the kiss 

Lumina 

Come and wrap around me 

Lumina 

Come and wrap around me...
