Bob Dylan Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3: Rare & Unreleased, 1961-1991 Angelina Well, it's always been my nature to take chances My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances Where the current is strong and the monkey dances To the tune of a concertina Blood dryin' in my yellow hair as i go from shore to shore I know what it is that has drawn me to your door But whatever it could be, makes you think you've seen me before Angelina Oh, angelina. oh, angelina His eyes were two slits that would make a snake proud With a face that any painter would paint as he walked through the crowd Worshipping a god with the body of a woman well endowed And the head of a hyena Do i need your permission to turn the other cheek? If you can read my mind, why must i speak? No, i have heard nothing about the man that you seek Angelina Oh, angelina. oh, angelina In the valley of the giants where the stars and stripes explode The peaches they were sweet and the milk and honey flowed I was only following instructions when the judge sent me down the road With your subpoena When you cease to exist, then who will you blame? I've tried my best to love you, but i cannot play this game Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same Angelina Oh, angelina. oh, angelina There's a black mercedes rollin' through the combat zone Your servants are half dead; you're down to the bone Tell me, tall man, where would you like to be overthrown Maybe down in jerusalem or argentina? She was stolen from her mother when she was three days old Now her vengeance has been satisfied and her possessions have been sold He's surrounded by god's angels and she's wearin' a blindfold And so are you, angelina Oh, angelina. oh, angelina I see pieces of men marching; trying to take heaven by force I can see the unknown rider, i can see the pale white horse In god's truth tell me what you want, and you'll have it of course Just step into the arena Beat a path of retreat up them spiral staircases Pass the tree of smoke, pass the angel with four faces Begging god for mercy and weepin' in unholy places Angelina Oh, angelina. oh, angelina |
