At the World Cafe Live at The Queen - May 11, 2012. <br /> <br />Idiot Wind by Bob Dylan <br />http://www.bobdylan.com/us/songs/idiot-wind <br /> <br />Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press <br />Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out but when they will I can only guess <br />They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy <br />She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me <br />I can't help it if I'm lucky <br /> <br />People see me all the time and they just can't remember how to act <br />Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts <br />Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at <br />I couldn't believe after all these years, you didn't know me better than that <br />Sweet lady <br /> <br />Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth <br />Blowing down the backroads headin' south <br />Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth <br />You're an idiot, babe <br />It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe <br /> <br />I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike <br />I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like <br />There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door <br />You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars <br />After losin' every battle <br /> <br />I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are <br />Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars <br />You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies <br />One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes <br />Blood on your saddle <br /> <br />Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb <br />Blowing through the curtains in your room <br />Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth <br />You're an idiot, babe <br />It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe <br /> <br />It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart <br />You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart <br />Now everything's a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped <br />What's good is bad, what's bad is good, you'll find out when you reach the top <br />You're on the bottom <br /> <br />I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind <br />I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed, your eyes don't look into mine <br />The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building burned <br />I waited
