Oh CAROL!

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The guilty undertaker sighs
She came in through the bathroom window

The lonesome organ grinder cries


The silver saxophones say
I should refuse you

The cracked bells
And washed-out horns


Blow into my face with scorn


But it’s not that way

I wasn’t born to lose you

I want you,
I want you

I want you so bad


Honey, I want you

The drunken politician leaps

Upon the street where mothers weep

Bob Dylan
I Want You
The video of this Dylan composition
is from the film
CINEMA PARADISO

The prefatory advert has
a 5-second Skip feature

And the saviors who are fast asleep,
they wait for you


And I wait for them to interrupt

Me drinkin’ from my broken cup

And ask me to

Open up the gate for you

I want you,
I want you

I want you so bad

Honey, I want you

    1. OUR kiss is tattooed to my heart
      unless, of course, you are not
      who I think you are.
