TAKE OFF YOUR SOCKS LEST THEY BE KNOCKED

another tune from the younger Dylan

Posted 12 months ago



With a very daunting legacy to live up to, I give Jakob all the credit in the world for even walking out that front door.

Alone tonight in somebody's bed
She gone and dyed her hair red
She only went and did what she did
'Cause he would drive her home then
There's lipstick on her new dress
She hadn't even paid yet
But it doesn't matter where the money went
It wasn't how she paid 'er rent

One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us

Now lookin' out across the city lights
She thought they'd be a good pair
Now he could make a living sellin' cars
Maybe she could work there
She's gonna pick a star in the night
And pray to make it all right
She tried so hard not to pick a kite
She always prayed to heaven lights

One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us
One, two, three Marlenas
It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us
The three Marlenas

Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls
Maybe a Chevrolet
One where I can pull that top down
Just let my radio play
Now I'm headin' out on that highway
I'm goin' right out of state
Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone
Right through heaven's gates

One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust
Out here among us
One, two, three Marlenas
Ya see no, speak no, hear no evil among us
The three Marlenas
Three Marlenas
Three Marlenas

    I always liked the Wallflowers...I can't believe it's been ---what--- over 10 years at least since they first came out

    yes yes, it's a blessing and a curse. One time I discovered a small woodland creature had taken up residence in the left one while I napped on a park bench.4

    Maybe nap face down on the bench to prevent that from happening again....just a suggestion
