  • She's got everything she needs, she's an artist
    She don't look back
    She's got everything she needs, she's an artist
    She don't look back
    She can take the dark out of the nighttime
    And paint the daytime black

    You will start out standing
    Proud to steal her anything she sees
    You will start out standing
    Proud to steal her anything she sees
    But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
    Down upon your knees

    She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
    She never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
    She's nobody's child, the law can't touch her at all

    She wears an Egyptian ring, it sparkles before she speaks
    She wears an Egyptian ring, it sparkles before she speaks
    She's a hypnotist collector, you are a walking antique

    Bow down to her on Sunday
    Salute her when her birthday comes
    Bow down to her on Sunday
    Salute her when her birthday comes
    For Halloween, buy her a trumpet
    And for Christmas, get her a drum Writer/s: Bob Dylan

  • Bill from UsI see Bob back in a coffee house in the village addressing the artists present by trying to discourage them from trying to steal his girl.
    He seems to be looking about the room, selecting from,recognizing many and in the language of their forms of art, creates reasons they would fail.
    I especially like the " She's a hypnotist collector" verse as he both tries to fend off perhaps a hypnotist by saying she has had all that and that furthermore, you're too old for her in her opinion.
