| FALSE
PROPHET Music by Bob Dylan Lyrics and Music by Bob Dylan |
|
| 1 Another day that don’t end - another ship goin’ out Another day of anger - bitterness, and doubt I know how it happened - I saw it begin I opened my heart to the world and the world came in 2 Hello Mary Lou - Hello Miss Pearl My fleet-footed guides from the underworld No stars in the sky shine brighter than you You girls mean business and I do too 3 Well I’m the enemy of treason - the enemy of strife I'm the enemy of the unlived meaningless life I ain’t no false prophet - I just know what I know I go where only the lonely can go 4 I’m first among equals - second to none Last of the best - you can bury the rest Bury ’em naked with their silver and gold Put 'em six feet under and pray for their souls 5 What are you lookin’ at - there’s nothing to see Just a cool breeze that’s encircling me Let’s go for a walk in the garden - so far and so wide We can sit in the shade by the fountain-side 6 I search the world over for the Holy Grail I sing songs of love - I sing songs of betrayal Don’t care what I drink - I don’t care what I eat I climbed the mountains of swords on my bare feet 7 You don’t know me darlin’ - you never would guess I’m nothing like my ghostly appearance would suggest I ain’t no false prophet - I just said what I said I’m just here to bring vengeance on somebody’s head 8 Put out your hand - there’s nothing to hold Open your mouth - I’ll stuff it with gold Oh you poor devil - look up if you will The city of God is there on the hill 9 Hello stranger - a long goodbye You rule the land, but so do I You lusty ol' mule - you got a poison brain I’ll marry you to a ball and chain 10 You know darlin’ - the kind of life that I live When your smile meets my smile - something’s got to give I ain’t no false prophet - no I’m nobody’s bride Can’t remember when I was born and I forgot when I died. |
