Bob Dylan – Angelina (Shot of Love Outtake)

Bob Dylan – Angelina (Shot of Love Outtake) Lyrics

Artist: Bob Dylan
Song: Angelina (Shot of Love Outtake)

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 what it is makes you think you’ve seen me before
Angelina

Oh, Angelina
Oh, Angelina
Her eyes were two slits make any snake proud
With a face that any painter would paint and she was well-endowed

Praising the dead as she rode a donkey through the crowd
As he walked through the crowd
Or was it a hyena?
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?

If you can read my thoughts, 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
A peaceful exchange of ideas for you was always too tame
In a travel warfare was your style and game
Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same

Angelina
Oh, Angelina
Oh, Angelina
There’s a black Mercedes rolling through the combat zone

Your servants are half-dead, you’re down to the bone
Tell me, tall men, where would you like to be overthrown?
In Jerusalem or Argentina?
She was stolen from her mother when she was three days old

Now her vengeance has been satisfied and her strength cards are showin’ gold
He’s surrounded by God’s angels and she’s wearing’ 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 name 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’ and moanin’ in unholy places

Angelina
Oh, Angelina
Oh, Angelina
[Oh, oh Angelina
