Testo Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan
Testo della canzone Subterranean Homesick Blues (Bob Dylan), tratta dall'album Bringing It All Back Home
Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement thinking about the government
A man in a trench coat, badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough, wants to get it paid off
Look out, kid, it's something you did
God knows when, but you're doing it again
You better duck down the alleyway looking for a new friend
A man in a coonskin cap and a pig pen
Wants eleven dollar bills, you only got ten
Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talking that the heat put plants in the bed
But the phone's tapped anyway, Maggie says the men they say
They must bust an early man, orders from the DA
Look out, kid, don't matter what you did
But walk on your tiptoes, don't tie no bows
Better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose and watch the plainclothes
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows
Oh, get sick, get well, hang around the ink well
Hang bell, hard to tell if anything is gonna sell
Try hard, get barred, get back, ride rail
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army if you fail
Look out, kid, you're gonna get hit
By losers, cheaters, six-time users hanging 'round the theaters
Girls by the whirlpools looking for a new fool
Don't follow leaders, watch your parking meters
Oh, get born, keep warm, short pants, romance
Learn to dance, get dressed, get blessed, poverty, success
Please her, please him, buy gifts, don't steal, don't lift
20 years of schooling 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 want to be a bum, you better chew gum
The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handle
