A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing hand

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake

People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
 

鲍勃·迪伦被认为是20世纪美国最重要、最有影响力的民谣、摇滚歌手，并被视为20世纪60年代美国民权运动的代言人。他直接影响了一大批同时代和后来的音乐人，例如尼尔·杨、大卫·波维、娄·里得、布鲁斯·斯普林斯丁、约翰·列侬等人，并被时代杂志列入本世纪最有影响力的100人的名单。如果没有迪伦，无疑摇滚乐将走一段弯路，将不会有“披头士”（THE BEATLES）的《佩珀军士孤独之心俱乐部乐队》（Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band），不会有“滚石”的《乞丐的宴会》（Beggar’s Banquet），也不会有“乐队”的《来自大平克的音乐》（Music form Big Pink），这就是他的影响程度。他对音乐的最主要的贡献，这点也影响了列侬和麦卡特尼之后的很多歌手，那就是歌词的深刻寓意与音乐成为同等重要的一部分，从他一开始的抗议歌曲，就展示了他的歌词比他的音乐更感召力、更激动人心。纵观其音乐生涯，Bob Dylan 真正赋予了摇滚乐以灵魂。
