Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door

Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a changing

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens
And keep your eyes open, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who that it's naming
Oh the loser will be later to win
For the times, they are a changing

Come senators, congressmen, please head the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be her that has stalled
The battle outside ragging will soon shake your windows
And rattle your hall
For the times, they are a changing

Come mothers and fathers all over this land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughter are beyond your command
Your old role is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand
For the times they are a changing

The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one will later be fast
And the present now will soon be the past
The order is rapidly fading
The first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a changing

Hey! Mister Tambourine Man,
Play a song for me,
I' m not sleepy an there is no place I' m goin' to.
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man,
Play a song for me
In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come follin' you

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship,
My senses have been stipped,
my hand can' t feel to grip
My toes to numb to step,
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'
I' m ready to go anywhere
I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade,
cast your dancin' spell
my way I promise to go under it

Though you might hear laughin' spinnin'
swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anymore,
It's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
And if you hear vague traces
of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time,
It's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn' t play it any mind,
It's just a shadow you' re
Seein' that he's chasin'

Then take me disappearin'
Through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time,
Far past the frozen leaves
The haunted, frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand wavin' free
Silhouetted by the sea,
circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you?
People call, say "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall."
You thought they were all kiddin' you.

You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out,
But now you don't talk so loud, Now you don't seem so proud,
About havin' to be scroungin' your next meal.

How does it feel? How does it feel.
To be on your own. With no direction home.
A complete unknown. Like a rollin' stone.

You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
You never had to live out on the street,
But now you're gonna have to get used to it.
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
Never understood that it ain't no good.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
You said you'd never compromise
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And he says, "Do you want to make a deal?"

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made.
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
You'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe.
You used to be so amused
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now he calls you you can't refuse
When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose
Your invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal.

Up on the withe varenda
She wears a nektie
and a panama het
Her passport shows a face
>>From another time and place
she looks nothin' like that
And all the remnats of her
recent past are scatterd in the wild wind
she walks across the marblefloor
where a voice from the gambling room is
cllin' her to come on in
she smiles
and walks the other way
as the last ship sails and the moon fades away
>from the black diamond bay

As the mornin' light break open
the greek comes down and he asks for
a robe and a pen that will write
,,pardon monsieur,, the desk clerk says
carrefully removes his fez
,,am I hearin' you rigth?,,
and as thje yellow fog is liftin'
the greek is quickly
headin' for the second floor
she passes him on the spiral staircase
thinkin' hes's the soviet ambassodor
she starts to speak but
he walks away
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches way
on the black diamond bay

A soldier sits benaeth the fan
Doin' buissnes with a tiny man
who sells him a ring
Lighning strikes the lights blow out
the desk clerk wakes
and begins to shout
Can you see anything
Then the greek apears on the second floor
in his bare feet and a
robe around his neck
while a looser in the gambling room lights up a candle says
open up another deck
but the dealer says
Atendez vous s'il vous plait
as the rain beats down and the cranes fly away
>from the black diamond bay

the desk clerk heard the women laugh
as he looks around in the aftermath
and the soldier got tough
he tried to grab the womens hand
said her's a ring it cost a grand
she said
that ain't enough
then she ran upstairs to back her back
while a horse drawn taxi
waited at the curb
she passed the door that the greek had looked
where a hand writen sign read
do not disturbshe kocked upon it anyway
as the sun went down and the music did play
on the black diamond bay

I've got to talk to someone quick
but the greek said go away and he
kicked the chair to the floor
he hung there from the chandeliere
she cried:help there's a deanger near
please
open up the door
then the vulcano eruppted and the lava
flowed down
>from the moutain high above
the soldir and the tiny men were crouched
in the corner
thinkin of forbidden love
but the desk clerk said
it happens every day
as the stars fell down the fields burned away
>from the black diamond bay

as the island slowly sank
the looser finaly broke the bank
in the gambling room
the dealer said its too late now
you can take the money but I don't
know how
you'll spend it in the tomb
the tiny men bit the soldier ear
as the floor caved in and the
boiler in the basement blew
while she's out on the balcony
where a stranger tells her
my darling je vous aime beaucuop
she sheds a tear and beginns to pray
as the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away
>from the black diamond bay

I was sittin' home alone one night
in L.A.watchin' old cronkite
on the seven o'clock news
It seems there was a earthquake that
left nothin' like a panama hat
and a pair of old greek shoes
didn't seem like much was happenin'
so I turn it off and
went to grap one other beer
seems like evry time you turn around
there's another hard luck
story that you gonna hear
and there's realy nothin'
anyone can say
and I never did plan to go anyway
to black diamond bay

Well, they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
Then they'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you're walking on the street
They'll stone you when you're trying to keep your seat
They'll stone you when you're walking on the floor
They'll stone you when you're walking through the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone you when you are 'ung and able
They'll stone you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck
Hey, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they'll stone you when you are all alone
They'll stone you when you are walking home
They'll stone you and then say they are brave
They'll stone you when you're set down in your grave
But I would not feel so alone
Everybody must get stoned
