Ain't it just like

the night to play tricks

When you're tryin' to be so quiet
We sit here stranded,
C
D
G
though we're all doin' our best to deny it
D
G
D
And Louise holds a handful of rain,
G
temptin' you to defy it
C
G
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
C
G
In this room the heat pipes just cough
C
G
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing,
D
G
C
D
really nothing to turn off
G
C

Just Louise and her lover so entwined
C
Em
And these visions of Johanna
D
G
that conquer my mind
D

Verse 2
D
G
In the empty lot where the ladies play
C
D
G
blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all- night girls they whisper
C
D
G
of escapades out on the "D" train
D
We can hear the night watchman
G
click his flashlight
D
Ask himself if it's him or
G
them that's insane
C
G
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
C
G
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
C
But she just makes
it all too concise and too clear
G
D
G
D
That Johanna's not here
G
C
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in
D
G
the bones of her face
C
Em
D
Where these visions of Johanna have
G
now taken my place
D
G
Verse 3
D
G
Now, little boy lost,
C
D
G
he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery,
C

G
he likes to live dangerously
D
And when bringing her name up
G
D
G
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
C
G
C
He's sure got a lotta gall to be
G
so useless and all
C
G
Muttering small talk at the wall
D
G
D
while I'm in the hall
G
How can I explain
C
D
G
It's so hard to get on
C

And these visions of Johanna,
D
they kept me up past the dawn
G
D

Verse 4
D
G
Inside the museums,
C
D
G
infinity goes up on trial
C
Voices echo this is what salvation
D
G
must be like after a while
D
But Mona Lisa musta had
the highway blues
G
You can tell by the way she smiles
C

See the primitive wallflower freeze
C

When the jelly- faced women all sneeze
C
Hear the one with the mustache say,
G
D
G
D
"Jeez, I can't find my knees"
G

Oh, jewels and binoculars hang
D

from the head of the mule
C

they make it all seem so cruel
G

D
G
C
The peddler now speaks to the countess
D
G
who's pretending to care for him
C
Sayin', name me someone that's not a parasite
D
G
and I'll go out and say a prayer for him
D
But like Louise always says
You can't look at much, can ya man
G

We see this empty cage now corrode
C
Where her cape of the stage

returned which was owed
C
G
On the back of the fish truck that loads
D

While my conscience explodes
G

The harmonicas play the skeleton
D

keys and the rain
C

And these visions of Johanna are
D

C
Em
D
now all that remain
