Bob Dylan — Someone’s Got a Hold of My Heart

[Verse 1] They say, “Eat, 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 [Verse 2] Getting harder and harder to recognize the trap Too much information about nothing Too much educated rap It’s just like you told me, just like you said it would be [Verse 3] The moon rising like wildfire I feel the breath of a storm Something I got to do tonight You go inside and stay warm [Chorus] 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 [Verse 4] Just got back from a city of flaming red skies Everybody thinks with their stomach There’s plenty of spies Every street is crooked, they just wind around till they disappear [Verse 5] Madame Butterfly, she lulled me to sleep Like an ancient river So wide and deep She said, “Be easy, baby, ain’t nothin’ worth stealing in here” [Verse 6] You’re the one I’ve been waiting for You’re the one I desire But you must first realize I’m not another man for hire [Chorus] [Verse 7] I can hear that hot-blooded singer On the bandstand croon Poisoned Love, Red Roses for a Blue Lady and Memphis in June While they’re beating the devil out of a guy who’s wearing a powder blue wig [Verse 8] I been to Babylon I gotta confess I could still hear the 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 [Chorus]
