Key West (Philosopher Pirate) - Bob Dylan
McKinley hollered McKinley squalled Doctor said "McKinleydeath is on the wall Say it to me if you got something to confess"I heard all about it he was going down slow I heard it on the wireless radio From down in the boondocks way down in Key West I'msearching for love for inspiration On that pirate radio station Coming out of Luxembourg and Budapest Radio signal clear as can be I'mso deep in love that I can hardly see Down on the flatlands way down in Key West Key West is the place to be If you'relooking for immortality Stay on the road follow the highway sign Key West is fine and fair If you lost your mind you will find it there Key West is on the horizon line I was born on the wrong side of the railroad track Like Ginsberg Corso and Kerouac Like Louis and Jimmy and Buddy and all the rest Well it might not be the thing to do But I'msticking with you through and through Down in the flatlands way down in Key West I got both my feet planted square on the ground Got my right hand high with the thumb down Such is life such is happiness Hibiscus flowers they grow everywhere here If you wear one put it behind your ear Down in the bottom way down in Key West Key West is the place to go Down by the Gulf of Mexico Beyond the sea beyond the shifting sand Key West is the gateway key To innocence and purity Key West Key West is the enchanted land I'venever lived in the land of Oz Or wasted my time with an unworthy cause It'shot down here and you can'tbe overdressed Tiny blossoms of a toxic plant They can make you dizzy I'dlike to help you but I can'tDown in the flatlands way down in Key West Well the Fishtail Palms and the orchid trees They can give you that bleeding heart disease People tell me I ought to try a little tenderness On Amelia Street Bayview Park Walking in the shadows after dark Down under way down in Key West I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals I know all the Hindu rituals People tell me that I'mtruly blessed Bougainvillea blooming in the summer in the spring Winter here is an unknown thing Down in the flat lands way down in Key West Key West is under the sun under the radar under the gun You stay to the left and then you lean to the right Feel the sunlight on your skin and the healing virtues of the wind Key West Key West is the land of light Wherever I travel wherever I roam I'mnot that far from the convent home I do what I think is right what I think is best Mystery Street off of Mallory Square Truman had his White House there East bound West bound way down in Key West Twelve years old they put me in a suit Forced me to marry a prostitute There were gold fringes on her wedding dress That'smy story but not where it ends She'sstill cute and we'restill friends Down on the bottom way down in Key West I play both sides against the middle Trying to pick up that pirate radio signal I heard the news I heard your last request Fly around my pretty little Miss I don'tlove nobody give me a kiss Down on the bottom way down in Key West Key West is the place to be If you'relooking for immortality Key West is paradise divine Key West is fine and fair If you lost your mind you'llfind it there Key West is on the horizon line Guitar score
