We sit here stranded though we're all doin' our best to deny it And Louise holds a handful of rain temptin' you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft but there's nothing, really nothing to turn off Just Louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain And the all night girls they whisper of escapades out on the D train We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane Louise, she's all right, she's just near She's delicate, and seems like the mirror But she just makes it all too concise and too clear that Johanna's not here The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face And these visions of Johanna have now taken my place Little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall How can I explain? Oh, it's so hard to get on And these visions of Johanna They kept me up past the dawn Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while`` But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "jeeze I can't find my knees" Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Saying "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him" But like Louise always says "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?" as she, herself, prepares for him And Madonna, she still has not showed We see this empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps to the road He writes everything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain #

The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing And he dances the circular track of the plow, ever knowing That the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow Let it grow Greatly yield!

Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, the girl that I love So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered, in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul and evil deed I had done Many thoughts ran through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run Out through the back door of Rose's I ran Out where the horses were tied... I picked a good one; he looked like he could run Up on his back and away I did ride Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out thru the badlands of New Mexico Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everything's gone in life nothing is left But it's been so long since I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death I saddled up and away I did go, riding alone in the dark... Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rose's Cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me I've got to make it to Rose's back door Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side It's getting harder to stay in the saddle I'm getting weary, unable to ride But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere, Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for One little kiss and Felina goodbye #

And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright But here you're trembling like a sparrow I will try with all my might To give you just a little sweetness Just a little light I have always heard that virtue ought to be its own reward But it never comes so easy when you're living by the sword It's even harder to be heartless when you look at me that way You're as mighty as the flower that will grow the stones away Even though I've been a stranger full of irony and spite Holding little but contempt for all things beautiful and bright Something shines around you and it seems to my delight You give me just a little sweetness Just a little light It could be just another highway coiled up in the night It could be just another white tail, baby stranded in my brights There's a tingling reognition like the sound of distant thunder And i begin to wonder if the love I've drivern under won't ignite So you know I've been a soldier in the armies of the night And I'll find the fatal error in what's otherwise alright But here you're trembling like a sparrow I will try with all my might To give you just a little sweetness Just a little light # Johhny B.
