Subterranean homesick blues

by Bob Dylan

lyricscopy.com
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.
