Talkin' World War III Blues歌词

[00:20.70]One time ago a crazy dream came to me
[00:22.77]I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three
[00:26.64]Went to the doctor the very next day
[00:28.52]To see what kinda words he could say
[00:30.33]He said, "It was a bad dream"
[00:31.52]
[00:34.42]I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though
[00:35.43]They were my own dreams
[00:36.49]Were only in your head
[00:38.67]
[00:49.06]I said, "Hold it Doc, a World War
[00:50.50]passed through my brain"
[00:51.87]He said, "Nurse, get your pad, the boy's insane"
[00:56.63]
[00:57.56]He grabbed my arm, I said, "Ouch!"
[00:59.32]As I landed on the psychiatric couch
[01:01.31]
[01:02.03]He said, "Tell me about it"
[01:04.90]
[01:12.59]Well, the whole thing started at three o'clock fast
[01:14.91]It was all over by quarter past
[01:18.59]I was down in the sewer with some little lover
[01:20.72]When I peeked out from a manhole cover
[01:24.28]Wondering who turned the lights on us
[01:26.96]
[01:36.03]Well, I got up and I walked around
[01:38.15]Up and down the lonesome town
[01:41.84]
[01:43.78]I stood on wondering which way to go
[01:45.79]I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
[01:47.91]And walked on down the road, it was a normal day
[01:52.32]
[02:03.14]Well, I rung me fallout shelter bell
[02:05.26]And I leaned my head and I gave a yell
[02:08.50]Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man
[02:10.57]
[02:11.13]Shotgun fired and away I ran
[02:14.70]I don't blame them too much though,
[02:16.44]they didn't know me
[02:19.76]
[02:27.97]Down the corner by the hot-dog stand
[02:30.39]I seen a man, I said, Howdy friend
[02:33.77]I guess there's just us two
[02:35.71]He screamed a bit and away he flew
[02:38.64]
[02:39.20]Thought I was a Communist
[02:42.33]
[03:00.68]Well, I spied me a girl before she could leave
[03:02.77]I said, Let's go play Adam and Eve
[03:05.28]
[03:06.59]I took her by the my hand heart and was thumpin'
[03:08.45]When she said, Hey man, you crazy or something
[03:11.58]
[03:14.08]You seen what happened last time they started
[03:17.14]
[03:33.71]Well, I seen me a Cadillac window uptown
[03:36.29]There was nobody around
[03:38.98]I got into the driver's seat
[03:40.79]And I drove down 42nd street in my Cadillac
[03:46.64]Good car to drive after a war
[03:51.21]
[04:03.96]Well, I remember seein' some ad
[04:06.02]So I turned on my Conelrad
[04:07.90]but I didn't pay the Con Ed bill
[04:10.52]So the radio didn't work so well,
[04:13.91]turned on my record player
[04:17.64]It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin',
[04:19.83]Tell your ma, tell your pa
[04:22.83]Our loves are gonna grow ooh wah, ooh wah
[04:27.20]
[04:39.72]I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue
[04:41.42]I needed somebody to talk to
[04:44.54]So I called up the operator of time just
[04:47.11]to hear a voice of some kind
[04:52.07]When you hear the beep it will be three o'clock
[04:55.83]She said that for over an hour and I hung up
[05:00.39]
[05:11.15]Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then
[05:13.52]Sayin', "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams
[05:17.65]But mine was a little different you see
[05:20.34]I dreamt the only person left after the war was me
[05:24.63]I didn't see you around
[05:26.76]
[05:34.39]Well, now time passed and now it seems
[05:37.20]Everybody's having them dreams
[05:40.95]Everybody sees their self walkin' around with no one else
[05:46.27]
[05:48.46]Half the people can be part right all of the time and
[05:53.58]Some of the people can be all right part of the time but
[05:57.40]All the people can't be all alright all of the time
[06:01.53]I think Abraham Lincoln said that
[06:06.27]I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
[06:08.89]I said that
