Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan\'s 115th Dream\n\nCopyright - 1965 Columbia Records\n\n\"Bob Dylan\'s 115th Dream\" narrates a surreal experience involving the discovery of America, the cast of Moby Dick and numerous bizarre encounters. It is the longest song in the electric section of the album, starting out as an acoustic ballad before being interrupted by laughter, and then starting back up again with an electric blues rhythm. The music is so similar in places to Another Side of Bob Dylan\'s \"Motorpsycho Nitemare\" as to be indistinguishable from it but for the electric instrumentation.\n\nLyrics:\nI was riding on the Mayflower\nWhen I thought I spied some land\nI yelled for Captain Arab\nI have yuh understand\nWho came running to the deck\nSaid, \"Boys, forget the whale\nLook on over yonder\nCut the engines\nChange the sail\nHaul on the bowline\"\nWe sang that melody\nLike all tough sailors do\nWhen they are far away at sea\n\n\"I think I\'ll call it America\"\nI said as we hit land\nI took a deep breath\nI fell down, I could not stand\nCaptain Arab he started\nWriting up some deeds\nHe said, \"Let\'s set up a fort\nAnd start buying the place with beads\"\nJust then this cop comes down the street\nCrazy as a loon\nHe throw us all in jail\nFor carryin\' harpoons\n\nAh me I busted out\nDon\'t even ask me how\nI went to get some help\nI walked by a Guernsey cow\nWho directed me down\nTo the Bowery slums\nWhere people carried signs around\nSaying, \"Ban the bums\"\nI jumped right into line\nSayin\', \"I hope that I\'m not late\"\nWhen I realized I hadn\'t eaten\nFor five days straight\n\nI went into a restaurant\nLookin\' for the cook\nI told them I was the editor\nOf a famous etiquette book\nThe waitress he was handsome\nHe wore a powder blue cape\nI ordered some suzette, I said\n\"Could you please make that crepe\"\nJust then the whole kitchen exploded\nFrom boilin\' fat\nFood was flying everywhere\nAnd I left without my hat\n\nNow, I didn\'t mean to be nosy\nBut I went into a bank\nTo get some bail for Arab\nAnd all the boys back in the tank\nThey asked me for some collateral\nAnd I pulled down my pants\nThey threw me in the alley\nWhen up comes this girl from France\nWho invited me to her house\nI went, but she had a friend\nWho knocked me out\nAnd robbed my boots\nAnd I was on the street again\n\nWell, I rapped upon a house\nWith the U.S. flag upon display\nI said, \"Could you help me out\nI got some friends down the way\"\nThe man says, \"Get out of here\nI\'ll tear you limb from limb\"\nI said, \"You know they refused Jesus, too\"\nHe said, \"You\'re not Him\nGet out of here before I break your bones\nI ain\'t your pop\"\nI decided to have him arrested\nAnd I went looking for a cop\n\nI ran right outside\nAnd I hopped inside a cab\nI went out the other door\nThis Englishman said, \"Fab\"\nAs he saw me leap a hot dog stand\nAnd a chariot that stood\nParked across from a building\nAdvertising brotherhood\nI ran right through the front door\nLike a hobo sailor does\nBut it was just a funeral parlor\nAnd the man asked me who I was\n\nI repeated that my friends\nWere all in jail, with a sigh\nHe gave me his card\nHe said, \"Call me if they die\"\nI shook his hand and said goodbye\nRan out to the street\nWhen a bowling ball came down the road\nAnd knocked me off my feet\nA pay phone was ringing\nIt just about blew my mind\nWhen I picked it up and said hello\nThis foot came through the line\n\nWell, by this time I was fed up\nAt tryin\' to make a stab\nAt bringin\' back any help\nFor my friends and Captain Arab\nI decided to flip a coin\nLike either heads or tails\nWould let me know if I should go\nBack to ship or back to jail\nSo I hocked my sailor suit\nAnd I got a coin to flip\nIt came up tails\nIt rhymed with sails\nSo I made it back to the ship\n\nWell, I got back and took\nThe parkin\' ticket off the mast\nI was ripping it to shreds\nWhen this coastguard boat went past\nThey asked me my name\nAnd I said, \"Captain Kidd\"\nThey believed me but\nThey wanted to know\nWhat exactly that I did\nI said for the Pope of Eruke\nI was employed\nThey let me go right away\nThey were very paranoid\n\nWell, the last I heard of Arab\nHe was stuck on a whale\nThat was married to the deputy\nSheriff of the jail\nBut the funniest thing was\nWhen I was leavin\' the bay\nI saw three ships a-sailin\'\nThey were all heading my way\nI asked the captain what his name was\nAnd how come he didn\'t drive a truck\nHe said his name was Columbus\nI just said, \"Good luck.\"
