By Bob Dylan


They say "
Drink and be merry,

Take the bull by the horns."

I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns

Everything looks a little far away to me
Gettin' harder and harder to recognize the trap

Too much information about nothin'

Too much educated rap

It's just like you told me, just like you said it would be
The moon rising like wildfire

I feel the breath of a skunk

Something I got to do tonight

You go inside and stay warm
Someone's got a hold of my heart

Someone's got a hold of my heart

Someone's got a hold of my heart

You-

Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
Just got back from a city of powder blue skies

Everybody thinks with their stomach

There's plenty of spies

Every street is crooked, they just wind around till they disappear
Madame
Butterfly, she lulls me to sleep

Like an ancient river

So wide and deep

She said, "
Be easy, baby, ain't nothin' worth stealin' here"
You're the one
I've been waitin' for

You're the one I desire

But you must first realize

I'm not another man for hire
Someone's got a hold of my heart

Someone's got a hold of my heart

Someone's got a hold of my heart

You, you, you, you

Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
I hear the hot-blooded singer

On the bandstand croon

September song,
Memphis in
June

While they're beating the devil out of a guy who's wearing a flaming
red wig
I been to
Babylon

I gotta confess

I can still hear that voice crying in the wilderness

What looks large from a distance, close up is never that big

Never could learn to drink that blood and call it wine

Never could learn to look at your face and call it mine.
Someone's got a hold of my heart

Someone's got a hold of my heart

Someone's got a hold of my heart

You-

Yeah, you got a hold of my heart
