A very good but perplexing Bob Dylan song


Recommended Posts

my uncle made me a mix cd for christmas and i've only just gotten around to listening to it. track 17 is a song by bob dylan, with one of the first lines being "there's a woman on my lap/she's drinking champagne." i don't know anymore of the lyrics, except he says quite a bit that "these times, they have changed". he repeats that many times, but it's not called "these times they are a' changin", because i've checked. can anyone help?

"Things have changed" By: Bob Dylan

edited: add lyrics

A worried man with a worried mind

No one in front of me and nothing behind

There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne

Got white skin, got assassin's eyes

I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies

I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Bridge #1:

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose

Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

Chorus

People are crazy and times are strange

I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

This place ain't doing me any good

I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag

Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Bridge #2

Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too

Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

(chorus)

I've been walking forty miles of bad road

If the bible is right, the world will explode

I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You can't win with a losing hand

Bridge #3

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet

Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

(chorus)

I hurt easy, I just don't show it

You can hurt someone and not even know it

The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity

Gonna get low down, gonna fly high

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie

I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Bridge #4

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake

I'm not that eager to make a mistake

(chorus)
