Bone chilling lyrics. A metaphor of sorts.

[LuckyCharms]

Lyrics below video.

Señor, señor
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
Seems like I been down this way before
Is there any truth in that, señor?

Señor, señor
Do you know where she is hidin'?
How long are we gonna be ridin'?
How long must I keep my eyes glued to the door?
Will there be any comfort there, señor?

There's a wicked wind still blowin' on that upper deck
There's an iron cross still hanging down from around her neck
There's a marchin' band still playin' in that vacant lot
Where she held me in her arms one time and said, "Forget me not"

Señor, señor
I can see that painted wagon
Smell the tail of the dragon
Can't stand the suspense anymore
Can you tell me who to contact here, señor?

Well, the last thing I remember before I stripped and kneeled
Was that trainload of fools bogged down in a magnetic field
A gypsy with a broken flag and a flashing ring
He said, "Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing"

Señor, señor
You know their hearts is as hard as leather
Well, give me a minute, let me get it together
Just gotta pick myself up off the floor
I'm ready when you are, señor

Señor, señor
Let's overturn these tables
Disconnect these cables
This place don't make sense to me no more
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, señor?

1. Thanks for postin the video and the lyics

I'm a latecomer to appreciating Dylan and am not familiar at all with this album. I'll have to check it out.

2. My pleasure.

There's few songs that hit me like this one does.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Dylan was a poet in the age of protest music...

We need more artists like that these days.

[Niagara]

4. Thank you for sharing the lyrics and song, Lucky

Thank you for sharing the lyrics and song, Lucky.


So relevant. I'm not familiar with Bob Dylan too much with the exception of Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.
