Marianne Faithfull - Visions of Johanna слова песни
Aint it just like the night to play tricks when youre tryin to be so quiet ? We sit here stranded, though were all doin our best to deny itAnd louise holds a handful of rain, temptin you to defy itLights flicker from the opposite loftIn this room the heat pipes just coughThe country music station plays softBut theres nothing, really nothing to turn offJust louise and her lover so entwinedAnd these visions of johanna that conquer my mind.Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trialVoices echo this is what salvation must be like after a whileBut mona lisa musta had the highway bluesYou can tell by the way she smilesSee the primitive wallflower freezeWhen the jelly-faced women all sneezeHear the one with the mustache say, "jeezeI cant find my knees"Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the muleBut these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel.The peddler now speaks to the countess whos pretending to care for himSayin, "name me someone whos not a parasite and Ill go out and say a prayer for him"But like louise always says"ya cant look at much, can ya man ? "As she, herself, prepares for himAnd madonna, she still hasnt showedWe see the empty cage now corrodeWhere her cape of the stage once had flowedThe fiddler, he now steps on the roadHe writes evrythings been returned which was owedOn the back of the fish trucks that loadWhile my conscience explodesThe harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rainAnd these visions of johanna are now all that remain.
