Bob Dylan – Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight Lyrics  Share

From Bob Dylan's album: Infidels

Just a minute before you leave, girl,
Just a minute before you touch the door.
What is it that you^,re trying to achieve, girl?
Do you think we can talk about it some more?
You know, the streets are filled with vipers
Who^,ve lost all ray of hope,
You know, it ain^,t even safe no more
In the palace of the Pope.

Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
I just don^,t think that I could handle it.
Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday^,s just a memory,
Tomorrow is never what it^,s supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.

Come over here from over there, girl,
Sit down here. You can have my chair.
I can^,t see us goin^, anywhere, girl.
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can^,t take you there.
I wish I^,d have been a doctor,
Maybe I^,d have saved some life that had been lost,
Maybe I^,d have done some good in the world
^,Stead of burning every bridge I crossed.

Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
I just don^,t think that I could handle it.
Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday^,s just a memory,
Tomorrow is never what it^,s supposed to be
And I need you, oh, yeah.

I ain^,t too good at conversation, girl,
So you might not know exactly how I feel,
But if I could, I^,d bring you to the mountaintop, girl,
And build you a house made out of stainless steel.
But it^,s like I^,m stuck inside a painting
That^,s hanging in the Louvre,

My throat start to tickle and my nose itches
But I know that I can^,t move.

Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
I just don^,t think that I could handle it.
Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday^,s gone but the past lives on,
Tomorrow^,s just one step beyond
And I need you, oh, yeah.

Who are these people who are walking towards you?
Do you know them or will there be a fight?
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through,
Can they tell you what^,s wrong from what^,s right?

Do you remember St. James Street
Where you blew Jackie P.^,s mind?
You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet
And laid his life on the line.

Let^,s try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,
No more booby traps and bombs,
No more decadence and charm,
No more affection that^,s misplaced, girl,
No more mudcake creatures lying in your arms.
What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants?
He looked so baffled and so bewildered
When he played and we didn^,t dance.

Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
I just don^,t think that I could handle it.
Don^,t fall apart on me tonight,
Yesterday^,s just a memory,
Tomorrow is never what it^,s supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.
