	G
Aint it	just like the night to play

	C	D	G	G/C	G
	Tricks when you're tr	ying to be so q	uiet

	G	C	D	G	G/C	G
We s	it here stranded, all d	oing our b	est to den	y it

	D	G
And Lo	uise holds a handful of rain tempting you to d	efy it

	C	G
Lights f	licker from the opposite l	oft

	C	G
In t	his room the heatpipes just co	ughed

	C
The c	ountry music station plays soft,

	D
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn o	ff

	G	C	D	G	G/C	G
Just Lou	ise, and her lov	er so	entwi	ned

	C	G	D	G
And these Vi	sions of Joh	anna, that co	nquer my m	ind

In the empty lot where the ladies play Blind Mans Bluff with the keychain

& the Allnite girls they whisper of escapades out on the D-Train

Where you can hear the nightwatchman click his flashlight

Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane

Louise, she's alright 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 taken my place

Now 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, 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 must've had the highway blues

You can tell by the way she smiles

See the primitive wallflower frieze

When the jelly-faced women all sneeze

Hear the one with the moustache say

Jeez, I can't find my knees!

Oh jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule

And these Visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

The pedlar now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him

Saying 'name me someone who's not a parasite,

and I'll go out and say a prayer for him'

But like Louise always says 'you can't look at much, can you 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 now steps into the road

He writes 'everythings been returned which was owed'

On the back of the fishtruck that loads

While my conscience explodes

The harmonicas play the skeleton keys in the rain

And these Visions of Johanna are now all that remain
