Subterranean Homesick Blues lyrics

Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine

I'm on the pavement thinking about the goverment

the man in the trench coat, badge out, laid off,

says he's got a bad cough: wants to get it paid off

God knows when but you're doin' it again!

you better duck down the alleyway lookin'for a new friend

the man in the coonskin cap by the big pen

wants eleven dollar bills: you only got ten

Look out, kid

Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did

Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid

Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot

talkin' at the heat put plants in the bed but

the phone's tapped anyway, maggie says that many say

they must bust in early may

orders from the D.A.

Walk on your tip toes, don't try "no doz"

better stay away from those that carry around a fire hose

keep a clean nose, watch the plain clothes

you don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows

Look out, kid

Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did

Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid

Looks to me like you did

a little to much hittin' kid

you should've took it to the bridge

before you started to skid

Look out, kid

the good god willin', we'll bebop to Bob Dylan

chillin'em, thrillin'em, and red hot killin'em

killin'em

Get sick, get well, hand around a ink well

ring bell, hard to tell if anything is goin' to sell

try hard, get barred, get back, write braille

get jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you fail

But users, cheaters, six time losers

hand around the theatres

girl by the whirlpool lookin' for a new fool

don't follow leaders, watch the parkin' meters

Look out, kid

Look out, kid, it's somethin' that you did

Look out, kid, 'cause they keep all hid
