“with her fog, her amphetamine, and her pearls ...”

“aretha with no goals, eternally single & one step soft of heaven/ let it be understood that she owns this melody along with her emotional diplomats & her earth & her musical secrets”

“her skirt it swayed as the guitar playedher mouth it was watery and yet ...”

“I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul...”

“Peace will comeWith tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fireBut will bring us no reward when her false idols fall..”

“Oh you five and ten cent womenWith nothin' in your headsI got a real gal I'm lovin'And Lord I'll love her till I'm deadGo away from my door and my window tooRight now”

“So now I'm going back againI got to get her somehowAll the people we used to knowThey're an illusion to me nowSome are mathematiciansSome are carpenter's wivesDon't know how it all got startedI don't what they're doing with their livesBut me I'm still on the roadHeading for another jointWe always did feel the sameWe just saw it from a different point of viewTangled up in Blue.”
