Motorpsycho Nightmare Lyrics


I pounded on a farmhouse
Lookin' for a place to stay
I was mighty, mighty tired
I had come a long, long wayI said, "Hey, hey, in there
Is there anybody home?"
I was standin' on the steps
Feelin' most aloneWell, out comes a farmer
He must have thought that I was nuts
He immediately looked at me
And stuck a gun into my gutsI fell down
To my bended knees
Saying, "I dig farmers
Don't shoot me, please"He cocked his rifle
And began to shout
"You're that travelin' salesman
That I have heard about"I said, "No, no, no
I'm a doctor and it's true
I'm a clean cut kid

And I've been to college, too"Then in comes his daughter
Whose name was Rita
She looked like she stepped out of
La dolce vitaI immediately tried to cool it
With her dad
And told him what a
Nice, pretty farm he hadHe said, "What do doctors
Know about farms, pray tell?"
I said, "I was born
At the bottom of a wishing well"Well, by the dirt neath my nails
I guess he knew I wouldn't lie
He said, "I guess you're tired"
He said it kinda slyI said, "Yes, ten thousand miles
Today I drove"
He said, "I got a bed for you
Underneath the stoveJust one condition
You can go to sleep right now
That you don't touch my daughter
And in the morning, milk the cows"I was sleepin' like a rat
When I heard something jerkin'
There stood Rita
Lookin' just like Tony PerkinsShe said, "Would you like to take a shower?
I'll show you up to the door"
I said, "Oh, no, no
I've been through this movie before"I knew I had to split
But I did not know how
When she said
"Would you like to take that shower, now?"Well, I couldn't leave
Unless the old man chased me out
'Cause I'd already promised
That I'd milk his cowsI had to say something
To strike him very weird
So, I yelled out
"I like Fidel Castro and his beard"Rita looked offended
But she got out of the way
As he came charging down the stairs
Sayin', "What's that I heard you say?"I said, "I like Fidel Castro
I think you heard me right"
And I ducked as he swung
At me with all his mightRita mumbled something
'Bout her mother on the hill
As his fist hit the icebox
He said, he's going to kill meIf I don't get out the door
In two seconds flat
"You unpatriotic, rotten doctor, commie rat"Well, he threw a Readers Digest
At my head and I did run
I did a somersault
As I seen him get his gunAnd crashed through the window
At a hundred miles an hour
And landed fully blast
In his garden flowersRita said, "Come back"
And he started to load
The sun was comin' up
And I was runnin' down the roadWell, I don't figure, I'll be back
There for a spell
Even though Rita moved away
And got a job at a motelHe still waits for me
Constant, on the sly
He wants to turn me in
To the FBIMe, I romp and stomp things
Thankful as I romp
Without freedom of speech
I might be in the swamp

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota, United States) is an American musician, poet and artist whose position in popular culture is unique.

Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 and much of his best known work is from the 1960s, when he became an informal documentarian and reluctant figurehead of American unrest. Some of his songs, such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'", became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. His song "Like a Rolling Stone", released in July of 1965, was named "The Greatest Song of All Time" by Rolling Stone magazine in 2004, placing #1 in a list of 500 titles. Dylan remains an influential and popular artist; his most recent album of new songs, 2009's Together Through Life, reached #1 on the charts in the US, Britain, France and several other countries.

Bob Dylan's strong influence over the past few years is becoming even more prominent amongst a growing group of younger emerging artists such as George Ellias, and Devendra Banhart.

Dylan's early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture of the time. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, Dylan has shown steadfast devotion to traditions of American song, from folk and country/blues to rock and roll and rockabilly, to Gaelic balladry, even jazz, swing and broadway.

After becoming a Christian, Dylan explored themes of faith, redemption and love while mining the gospel vein. In a few years he found an equilibrium. His last albums can be seen as new highlights in his important career.

Dylan performs with the guitar, keyboard and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s. He has also recently performed alongside other iconic artists, such as Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Tom Petty and Eric Clapton. Although his contributions as a performer and recording artist have been central to his career, his songwriting is generally held as his highest accomplishment.
