Verse 1
A
D
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks
E
A
when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
D
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin'
E
A
our best to deny it
D
A
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
D
A
In this room the heat pipes just cough
A
D
E
Just Louise and her lover so
D
A
And these visions of Johanna
E
A
that conquer my mind

Verse 2
D
E
where the ladies play blindman's bluff
E
A
of escapades out on the "D" train
click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them
D
A
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
D
A
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
A
D
E
The ghost of ’lectricity howls in the bones
D
A
Where these visions of Johanna
E
A
have now taken my place

Verse 3
D
E
A
he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery,
D
E
A
he likes to live dangerously
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
A
D
A
He’s sure got a lotta gall
D
A
to be so useless and all
D
A
Muttering small talk at the wall
D
E
A
It's so hard to get on
D
A
And these visions of Johanna,
E
A
they kept me up past the dawn

Verse 4
D
E
A
Infinity goes up on trial
D
E
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like
You can tell by the way she smiles
A
D
A
See the primitive wallflower freeze
D
A
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
A
E
“Jeeze I can’t find my knees”
D
E
A
hang from the head of the mule
D
A
But these visions of Johanna,
E
A
they make it all seem so cruel

Verse 5
A
D
Well, the peddler now speaks to the countess
E
A
who’s pretending to care for him
Sayin’, “Name me someone
D
E
that’s not a parasite and I’ll go out
“Ya can’t look at much, can ya man?”
D
A
And Madonna, she still has not showed
D
A
We see this empty cage now corrode
D
A
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
D
A
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
D
A
On the back of the fish truck that loads
A
D
E
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys
D
A
And these visions of Johanna
E
A
are now all that remain
