Bob Dylan — Angelina Shot of Love Outtake

[Verse 1] Well, it’s always been my nature to take chances My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances Where the current is strong and the monkey dances To the tune of a concertina [Verse 2] Blood dryin’ in my yellow hair as I go from shore to shore I know what it is that has drawn me to your door But I don't know what it is makes you think you’ve seen me before Angelina [Chorus] Oh, Angelina Oh, Angelina [Verse 3] Her eyes were two slits that would make any snake proud With a face that any painter would paint and she was well-endowed Praising the dead as she rode a donkey through the crowd Or was it a hyena? [Verse 4] Do I need your permission to turn my other cheek? If you can read my thoughts, why must I speak? No, I have heard nothin' about the man that you seek Angelina [Chorus] Oh, Angelina Oh, Angelina [Verse 5] In the valley of the giants where the stars and stripes explode The peaches they were sweet and the milk and honey flowed I was only following instructions when the judge sent me down the road With your subpoena [Verse 6] A peaceful exchange of ideas for you was always too tame Inter-tribal warfare was always more your style that your game Your best friend and my worst enemy is one and the same Angelina [Chorus] Oh, Angelina Oh, Angelina [Verse 7] There’s a black Mercedes rolling through the combat zone Your servants are half-dead, you’re down to the bone Tell me, tall man, where would you like to be overthrown? In Jerusalem or Argentina? [Verse 8] She was stolen from her mother when she was three days old Now her vengeance has been satisfied and her strength cards are showin' gold He’s surrounded by God’s angels and she’s wearing’ a blindfold And so are you, Angelina [Chorus] Oh, Angelina Oh, Angelina [Verse 9] I see pieces of men marching, trying to take Heaven by force I can see the unknown rider, I can see the pale white horse In God’s truth name tell me what you want and you’ll have it of course Just step into the arena [Verse 10] Beat a path of retreat up them spiral staircases Pass the tree of smoke, pass the angel with four faces Begging God for mercy and weepin’ and moanin' in unholy places Angelina [Chorus] Oh, Angelina Oh, Angelina (Oh, oh Angelina) (Oh, oh Angelina)
