[00:00.00]Ballad of a Thin Man - Bob Dylan
[00:15.34]You walk into the room
[00:17.97]With your pencil in your hand
[00:21.47]You see somebody naked
[00:23.34]And you say Who is that man
[00:28.22]You try so hard
[00:29.72]But you don't understand
[00:34.28]Just what you'll say
[00:36.09]When you get home
[00:40.41]Because something is happening here
[00:43.09]But you don't know what it is
[00:47.53]Do you Mister Jones
[00:57.59]You raise up your head
[01:00.53]And you ask Is this where it is
[01:04.22]And somebody points to you and says
[01:07.72]It's his
[01:08.72]
[01:10.84]And you say What's mine
[01:12.28]And somebody else says Where what is
[01:16.16]And you say Oh my God
[01:18.28]Am I here all alone
[01:23.22]Because something is happening here
[01:26.28]But you don't know what it is
[01:30.41]Do you Mister Jones
[01:36.66]
[01:40.47]You hand in your ticket
[01:43.41]And you go watch the geek
[01:46.91]Who immediately walks up to you
[01:49.59]When he hears you speak
[01:51.39]
[01:53.39]And says How does it feel
[01:56.14]To be such a freak
[01:57.83]And you say Impossible
[01:59.52]As he hands you a bone
[02:02.64]
[02:06.58]Because something is happening here
[02:08.95]But you don't know what it is
[02:14.64]Do you Mister Jones
[02:17.78]
[02:23.16]You have many contacts
[02:26.28]Among the lumberjacks
[02:28.29]To get you facts
[02:30.03]When someone attacks your imagination
[02:34.97]
[02:36.29]But nobody has any respect
[02:38.60]Anyway they already expect you
[02:42.10]To just give a check
[02:44.41]To tax-deductible charity organizations
[02:45.55]
[02:54.79]You've been with the professors
[02:56.42]And they've all liked your looks
[03:01.10]With great lawyers you have
[03:03.11]Discussed lepers and crooks
[03:06.23]
[03:07.86]You've been through all of
[03:09.10]F Scott Fitzgerald's books
[03:12.86]You're very well read
[03:16.25]It's well known
[03:20.25]Because something is happening here
[03:22.94]But you don't know what it is
[03:27.39]Do you Mister Jones
[03:29.37]
[03:36.49]Well the sword swallower he comes up to you
[03:40.30]And then he kneels
[03:43.37]He crosses himself
[03:43.93]And then he clicks his high heels
[03:47.99]
[03:48.93]And without further notice
[03:52.57]He asks you how it feels
[03:54.13]And he says Here is your throat back
[03:57.82]Thanks for the loan
[04:01.00]
[04:04.50]Because something is happening here
[04:06.13]But you don't know what it is
[04:07.82]
[04:09.38]Do you Mister Jones
[04:15.57]
[04:18.32]Now you see this one-eyed midget
[04:21.32]Shouting the word NOW
[04:25.82]And you say For what reason
[04:28.76]And he says How
[04:31.94]And you say What does this mean
[04:33.69]And he screams back You're a cow
[04:38.63]Give me some milk
[04:41.19]Or else go home
[04:44.63]Because something is happening here
[04:47.07]But you don't know what it is
[04:51.45]Do you Mister Jones
[05:00.63]Well you walk into the room
[05:03.19]Like a camel and then you frown
[05:06.95]
[05:07.70]You put your eyes in your pocket
[05:09.70]And your nose on the ground
[05:14.63]There ought to be a law
[05:16.70]Against you comin' around
[05:18.07]
[05:19.88]You should be made
[05:21.45]To wear earphones
[05:22.08]
[05:27.21]Because something is happening here
[05:29.71]But you don't know what it is
[05:33.46]Do you Mister Jones
