@ALBUM: empire.burlesque Author: Bob Dylan Album title: Empire Burlesque @SONG: Tight Connection To My Heart (Has Anyone Seen My Love) You got a tight connection to my heart You got a tight connection to my heart You got a tight connection to my heart You got a tight connection to my heart Well, I had to move fast And I couldn't with you around my neck I said I'd send for you and I did What did you expect? My hands are sweating And we haven't even started yet. I'll go along with the charade Until I can think my way out. I know it was all a big joke Whatever it was about. Someday maybe I'll remember to forget. I'm gonna get my coat. I feel the breath of a storm. There's something I've got to do tonight, You go inside and stay warm. Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love, I don't know. Has anybody seen my love? You want to talk to me. Go ahead and talk. Whatever you got to say to me Won't come as any shock. I must be guilty of something You just whisper it into my ear Madame Butterfly She lulled me to sleep. In a town without pity Where the water runs deep. She said, "Be easy baby. There ain't nothing worth stealin' in here" You're the one I've been looking for You're the one that's got the key But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you Or you're too good for me Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love? Well they're not showing any lights tonight And there's no moon. There's just a hot blooded singer Singing "Memphis in June" And they're beatin' the devil out of a guy Who's wearing a powder-blue wig. Later he'll be shot for Resisting arrest. I can still hear his voice crying In the wilderness. What looks large from a distance Close up ain't never that big. I never could learn to drink that blood And call it wine I never could learn to hold you, love And call you mine. Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love, Has anybody seen my love, I don't know Has anybody seen my love? Talkin' 'bout a ..... Talkin' 'bout a ..... Talkin' 'bout a ..... You got a tight connection to my heart You got a tight connection to my heart You got a tight connection to my heart @SONG: Seeing You The Real You At Last Well, I thought that the rain would cool things down But it looks like it don't. I'd like to get you to change your mind But it looks like you won't From now on I'll be busy. Ain't goin' nowhere fast. I'm just glad it's over I'm seeing the real you at last. Well, I risked my neck for you, Didn't I take chances? Didn't I rise above it all for you, The most unfortunate circumstances? Well, I have had some rotten nights, Didn't think that they would pass. I'm just thankful and grateful To be seeing the real you at last. I'm hungry and I'm irritable And I'm tired of this bag of tricks. At one time there was nothing wrong with me That you could not fix. Well, I sailed through the storm Strapped to the mast, But now the time has come And I'm seeing the real you at last. When I met you baby, You didn't show no visible scars. You could ride like Annie Oakley, You could shoot like Belle Starr. Well, I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble, Trouble always comes to pass, All I care about now Is that I'm seeing the real you at last. Well, I'm gonna quit this baby talk now, I guess I should have known. I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles, I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone. Whatever you gonna do, Please do it fast. I'm still trying to get used to Seeing the real you at last. @SONG: I'll Remember You I'll remember you When I've forgotten all the rest, You to me were true, You to me were the best. When there is no more, You cut to the core Quicker than anyone I knew When I'm all alone In the great unknown I'll remember you. I'll remember you At the end of the trail. I had so much left to do. I had so little time to fail. There's some people that You don't forget Even though you've only seen'm One time or two. When the roses fade, And I'm in the shade, I'll remember you. Didn't I, didn't I try to love you? Didn't I, didn't I try to care? Didn't I sleep, didn't I weep beside you With the rain blowing in your hair? I'll remember you When the wind blows through the piney wood. It was you who came right through, It was you who understood. Though I'd never say That I'd done it the way That you'd have liked me to. In the end, My dear sweet friend, I'll remember you. @SONG: Clean-Cut Kid Everybody's asking why he couldn't adjust Adjust to what, a dream that bust? They took a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out of him That's what they did They said what's up is down, they said what isn't is They put ideas in his head that he thought were his They took a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out him That's what they did He was on the baseball team, he was in the marching band When he was ten years old he had a watermelon stand He was a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out of him That's what they did He went to church on Sunday, he was a Boy Scout For his friends he would turn his pockets inside out He was a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out him That's what they did They said, "Listen boy, you're just a pup" They sent to a napalm health spa to shape up They gave him dope to smoke, drinks and pills, A jeep to drive, blood to spill They said "Congratulations you got what it takes". They sent him back into the rat-race without any brakes They took a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out him That's what they did He bought the American dream but it put him in debt Only game he could play was Russian roulette He drank Coca-Cola, he was eating Wonder Bread He ate Burger Kings, he was well fed He went to Hollywood to see Peter O'Toole He stole a Rolls Royce and drove it in a swimming pool They took a clean-cut kid But they made a killer out of him That's what they did He could've sold insurance, owned a restaurant or a bar He could've been an accountant or a tennis star He was wearing boxing gloves, he took a dive one day Off the Golden Gate Bridge into China Bay His mama walks the floor, his dadddy weeps and moans They gotta sleep together in a home they don't own They took a clean-cut kid And made a killer out of him That's what they did Everybody's asking why he didn't adjust All he ever wanted was someone he could trust They took his head and turned it inside out He never did know what it was all about He had a steady job, he joined the choir He never did plan to walk the high wire They took a clean-cut kid And they made a killer out him That's what they did. @SONG: Never Gonna Be The Same Again Now you're here beside me, baby, You're a living dream. And every time you get this close It makes me want to scream. You touched me and you knew That I was warm for you and then, I ain't never gonna be the same again. Sorry if I hurt you, baby, Sorry if I did. sorry if I touched the place Where your secrets are hid. But you meant more than everything And I could not pretend. I ain't never gonna be the same again. You give me something to think about, baby, Every time I see ya. Don't worry baby, I don't mind leaving, I'd just like it to be my idea. You taught me how to love you, baby, And you taught me, oh, so well. Now, I can't go back to what was, baby. I can't unring the bell. You took my reality And cast it to the wind And I ain't never gonna be the same again. @SONG: Trust Yourself Trust yourself, Trust yourself to do the things that only you know best. Trust yourself, Trust yourself to do what's right and not be second-guessed. Don't trust me to show you beauty When beauty may only turn to rust. If you need somebody you can trust, trust yourself. Trust yourself, Trust yourself to know the way that will prove true in the end. Trust yourself, Trust yourself to find the path where there is no if and when. Don't trust me to show you the truth When the truth may only be ashes and dust. If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself. Well, you're on your own, you always were. In a land of wolves and thieves. Don't put your hope in ungodly man Or be a slave to what somebody else believes. Trust yourself And you won't be disappointed when vain people let you down. Trust yourself And look not for answers where no answers can be found. Don't trust me to show you love When my love may only be lust. If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself. @SONG: Emotionally Yours Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun. Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one. I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind closed doors. But I will always be emotionally yours. Come baby, rock me, come baby, lock me into the shadows of your heart. Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start. I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm living for. And I will always be emotionally yours. It's like my whole life never happened, When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought. I know this dream, it might be crazy, But it's the only one I've got. Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied. Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide. I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores. But I will always be emotionally yours. @SONG: When The Night Comes Falling From The Sky Look out across the fields, see me returning. Smoke is in your eyes, you draw a smile. From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning, You've had time to think about it for a while. Well, I've walked two hundred miles, look me over. Its the end of the chase and the moon is high. It won't matter who loves who. You'll love me or I'll love you When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling from the sky. I can see through your walls and I know you're hurting. Sorrow covers you up like a cape. Only yesterday I know that you've been flirting With disaster you somehow managed to escape. Well, I can't provide for you no easy answers. Who are you that I should have to lie? You'll know all about it, love. It'll fit you like a glove When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling from the sky. I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river. You must have been protecting someone last time I called. I've never asked you for nothing that you couldn't deliver. I've never asked to set yourself up for a fall. I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness, For the love of a lousy buck, I've watched them die. Stick around, baby, we're not through, Don't look for me, I'll see you. When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling from the sky. In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection. It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line. I don't want to be a fool starving for affection. I don't want to drown in someone else's wine. For all eternity I think I will remember That icy wind that's howling in your eye. You will seek me and you'll find Me in the wasteland of your mind. When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling from the sky. Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter But you were gambling for support. This time tomorrow I'll know you better. Where my memory is not so short. This time I'm asking for freedom, Freedom from a world which you deny. And you'll give it to me now, I'll take it anyhow. When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling, When the night comes falling from the sky. @SONG: Something's Burning, Baby Something is burning, baby, are you aware? Something is the matter, baby, there's smoke in your hair Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign Is the love in your heart for me turning blind? You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file What's your position, baby, what's going on? Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone? I know everything about this place, or so it seems Am I know longer a part of your plans or your dreams? Well, it is so obvious that something has changed What's happening baby to make you act so strange? Something is burning, baby, here's what I say Even the bloodhounds of London couldn't find you today I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin' you blue Who is he, baby, and what's he to you? We've reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins But where do you live, baby, and where is the light? Why are your eyes just staring off in the night? I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night, when I think of you I can feel it in the light, in the light, in the light, and it's got to be true You can't live by bread alone, you won't be satisfied You can't roll away the stone if your hands are tied Got to start someplace baby, can you explain? Please don't fade away on me baby, like the midnight train Answer me baby, a casual look will do Just what in the world has come over you? I can feel it in the wind, in the wind, in the wind, and it's upside down I can feel it in the dust as I get of the bus on the outskirts of town I've had the Mexico City blues since the last hairpin curve I don't wanna see you bleed, I know what you need and it ain't what you deserve. Something is burning, baby, something's in flames There's a man going round calling names Ring down when your ready, baby, I'm waiting for you I believe in the impossible, you know that I do. @SONG: Dark Eyes Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside. They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide. I live in another world where life and death are memorized. Where the earth is strung with lovers' pearls and all I see are dark eyes. A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer. Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere. But I can hear another drum beating for the dead that rise. Whom nature's beast fears as they come and all I see are dark eyes. They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes. They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is. But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognised. All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes. Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel. Hunger pays a heavy price to the falling gods of speed and steel. Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies. A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes. @SONG: Drifting Too Far From Shore I see you leaning on the window I said I could not wait I'm leaving home by morning I didn't even hesitate I sent you all my money Just like I did before I try to reach you honey But you're drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore I seen you leave your letter Over your harder hill I hope you're feelin better Roll down your window sill I sent you all my money Just like I did before I try to reach you honey But you're drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Yeah baby, drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore I got your need this morning Over your head are new All that was only warning Write out their checques for you I sent you all my money Just like I did before I try to reach you honey But you're drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Yeah baby, drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore Drifting too far from shore @SONG: Go Away Little Boy Go away little boy, she's not for you Go back to her, where you'll be more secure She knows you much better than I do Go away little boy, she's not for you Go away little boy, you're making me sad I don't wanna see you bleed, she's the one you need You'll never miss what you ain't never had Go away little boy, you're making me sad Go away little boy, it's much too late Walk right out the door, I don't wanna see you no more You're making it hard for me to concentrate Go away little boy, it's much too late Can't you hear your mama calling Can't you recognize her voice Don't you heed the warning Before you have the choice Go away little boy, you're making me cry You got your pride, don't throw it away tonight It's getting hard for me to look you in the eye Go away little boy, you're making me cry @SONG: New Danville Girl I wish I could remember that movie just a little bit better, All I remember about it was that it starred Gregory Peck. He was shot down in the back by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself. The townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck. Well the Sheriff beat that boy to a bloody pulp, As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath. 'Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square. I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death'. Well I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in, And it blows right through me like a ball and chain. You know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart. Your memory keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train. I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert In your busted-down Ford and your platform heels. I could never figure out why you choose that particular place to meet, Ah, but you were right. It was perfect, as I got in behind the wheel. We drove that car all night until San Antone And we slept near the Alamo, fell out under the stars. Way down in Mexico he went out to see a doctor and you never came back, I stayed there a while, till the whole place it started feelin' like musk. Well, I'm driving this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies. Somethin' about it reminds me of you, like when she sings "Baby, let the good times roll". But I'm too over the edge to remember the things we used to talk about or do, And she's the one to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control. Danville Girl with your Danville curl, Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above. Danville Girl take me all around the world. Danville Girl, you're my honey love. Well. we crossed the Panhandle and then we headed out towards Amarillo, Rushin' down where Henry Porter used to live, he owned the record line outside of town, We could see Ruby in the window, as we came rolling up in a trail of dust. She said 'Henry's not here, he took off, but you all can come in and stay a while'. Well she told us times were tough but we never knew how bad off she was. You know she would change the subject every time money came up. You know her eyes were filled with so much sadness, she was so disillusioned with everything, She said 'Even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt'. 'How far are you all going?' Ruby asked us with a sigh. 'We're going all the way 'till the wheels fall off and burn. Till the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies'. Ruby just smiled and said 'Ah, you know, some babies never learn'. I keep trying to remember that movie though, and it does keep comin' back, But I can't remember what part I played or who I was supposed to be. All I can remember about it is it's starring Gregory Peck and he was in it, And everything he did in it reminded me of me. Yeah! Danville Girl with your Danville curl, Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above. Danville Girl take me all around the world. Danville Girl, you're my honey love. Well, they were looking for somebody with a pompadour. I was crossing the street when they opened fire. I didn't know whether to duck or to run so I ran. Sounded to me like I was bein' chased by the midnight choir. Well, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune, underneath it said 'A man with no alibi'. You went out on a limb to testify and you said I was with you. Ah, yes you did! And I watched you break down in front of the judge and cry. It was the best acting I ever saw you do. I've always been the emotional person but this time it was asking too much. If there's an original thought out there, Oh, I could use it right now! Yeah, I feel pretty good, but you know I could feel a whole lot better, oh yes I could, If you were just here by my side to show me how. Well, I'm standing in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck. Oh yes I am, but it's not the one that I had in mind. He's got a new one out now, you know it just don't look the same, But I'll see him anyway and I stand in line. Danville Girl with your Danville curl, Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above. Danville Girl take me all around the world. Danville Girl, you're my honey love. You know, it's funny how people just want to believe what's convenient. Nothing happens on purpose, it's an accident if it happens at all. And everything that's happening to us seems like it's happening without our consent, But we're busy talking back and forth to our shadows on an old stone wall. Oh, you got to talk to me now baby, tell me about the man that you used to love, And tell me about your dreams, just before the time you passed out. Oh, yeah! Tell me about the time that our engine broke down and it was the worst of times, Tell me about all the things that I couldn't do nothin' about. There was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice. I don't remember who I was or what part I played. All I remember about it was it was starring Gregory Peck. But that was a long time ago, and it was made in the shade. Danville girl with your Danville curl, Teeth like pearls, shining like the moon above. Danville Girl take me all around the world. Danville Girl, you're my honey love. @SONG: Something's Burning, Baby (Early version) Something is burning, baby, are you aware? Something is the matter, baby, there's smoke in your hair Are you still my friend, baby, show me a sign Is the love in your heart for me turning blind? You've been avoiding the main streets for a long, long while The truth that I'm seeking is in your missing file What's your position, baby, what's going on? Why is the light in your eyes nearly gone?

We've reached the edge of the road, baby, where the pasture begins Where charity is supposed to cover up a multitude of sins But where do you live, baby, and where is the light? Why are your eyes just staring off in the night? I can feel it coming down, coming down, coming down from four stories high. And it's sticking in the ground, in the ground, in the ground, I don't wanto to see you die. I can feel it in the night, in the night, in the night, feel it in the breeze. I can feel it taking flight in your white skin tight, I can feel myself freeze. Got to start someplace baby, can you explain? Please don't fade away on me baby, like the midnight train Answer me baby, a casual look will do Just what in the world has come over you? I can feel it in the touch, in the touch, in the touch of her fingertips. I can feel it in the rush, in the rush, in the rush of a rock'n'roll lick. I can feel it in my brain, in my brain, in my brain, I know what she needs. I can feel it in the rain, in the rain, in the rain, I don't want to see you bleed. Somebody bigger than me is gonna know what you're about. Somebody parked in a truck in the shade is gonna figure you out. Ring down when you're ready baby, I'm waiting alone. The life you're saving just might be your own. @SONG: Straight A's In Love You ain't so good in arithmetic, baby You don't know how to count When it comes to spending money It's never the right amount But baby, you know, two and two is four Baby, that'll be the day, But in love, crazy love, you get straight A!
