Talkin' World War III Blues-Bob Dylan

[00:00.00] One time ago a crazy dream came to me [00:22.41]I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three [00:26.22]Went to the doctor the very next day [00:28.29]To see what kinda words he could say, he said it was a bad dream [00:31.56]"I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though [00:35.70]Them old dreams are only in your head" [00:48.78]I said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain" [00:51.81]He said, "Nurse, get your pad, the boy's insane" [00:57.24]He grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch" [00:59.31]As I landed on the psychiatric couch, he said, "Tell me about it" [01:12.27]Well, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast, it was all over by quarter past [01:18.21]I was down in the sewer with some little lover [01:20.49]When I peeked out from a manhole cover [01:23.97]Wonderin' who turned the lights on us [01:35.67]Well, I got up and walked around, up and down the lonesome town [01:43.44]I stood a-wondering which way to go [01:45.54]I lit a cigarette on a parking meter and walked on down the road [01:50.37]It was a normal day [02:02.76]Well, I rung me a fallout shelter bell and I leaned my head and I give a yell [02:07.44]"Gimme a string bean, I'm a hungry man" [02:11.01]A shotgun fired and away I ran [02:14.43]I don't blame them too much though, they didn't know me [02:27.63]Down the corner by the hot-dog stand, I seen a man [02:32.49]I said, "Howdy friend, I guess it's just us two" [02:35.43]He screamed a bit and away he flew [02:38.91]Thought I was a Communist [03:00.27]Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave, I said "Let's go and play Adam and Eve" [03:06.27]I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin' [03:08.37]She said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin'? [03:10.77]You see what happened last time they started" [03:33.33]Well, I seen a Cadillac window uptown, there was nobody around [03:38.67]I got into the driver's seat and I drove 42nd Street [03:43.32]In my Cadillac [03:46.38]Good car to drive after a war [04:03.60]Well, I remember seein' some ad [04:05.73]So I turned on my Conelrad [04:08.07]But I didn't pay the Con Ed bill [04:10.23]So the radio didn't work so well [04:13.59]Turned on my record-player [04:17.40]It was "Rock-A-Day Johnny," singing [04:19.98]"Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa [04:22.56]Our Love's A-Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah" [04:39.12]I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue [04:41.16]And I needed somebody to talk to [04:44.22]So I called up the operator of time [04:46.65]Just to hear a voice of some kind [04:48.93]"When you hear the beep [04:53.40]It will be three o'clock" [04:55.53]She said that for over an hour [04:57.42]And I hung up [05:10.83]Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then [05:13.38]Sayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams [05:17.28]But mine was a little different, you see [05:20.13]I dreamt that the only person left after the war was me [05:24.09]I didn't see you around" [05:34.02]Well, now time passed and now it seems everybody's having them dreams [05:40.65]Everybody sees theirself walkin' around with no one else [05:48.15]Half of the people can be part-right all of the time, some of the people can be all right part of the time [05:56.31]But all the people can't be all right all the time, I think Abraham Lincoln said that [06:03.42]"I'll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours" [06:08.61]I said that
