Subterranean Homesick Blues

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 hes got a bad cough he wants to get paid off (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
So look out, kid

Look out, kid because it's somethin' that you did
Look out, kid, because they keep all hid, look out

Maggie comes fleet foot, face full of black soot
Talkin' at the heat put plants in the bed but
The phones 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 and a eye on the plain clothes
Cause you don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows
Look out, kid

Look out kid because it's somethin' that you did
Look out kid because they keep all hid look out

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
Say killin' 'em
kill' 'em

Get sick, get well, hand around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell if anything's gonna sell
Try hard, get barred, try back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail, join the army, if you fail
Users, cheaters and the 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 because it's somethin' that you did
Look out kid because they keep all hid look out

Album: Bringing It All Back Home (1965) 

Orange Claw Hammer

A thick cloud caught a piper ???
The old puff horse was just pulling through
And a man wore a peg leg forever
?? is in the house
???
I was shanghaied by a high hat beaver mustache man
And his pirate friend
I woke up in vomit and beer in a banana bin
And a soft lass with brown skin
Bore me seven babies with snapping black eyes
And beautiful ebony skin
And here it is i'm with you my daughter
Thirty years away can make a seamans eyes
A roundhouse mans eyes flow out water
Salt water
