~Knockin' On Heaven's Door~

Tom, take this bible off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's gettin' dark, too dark 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

Tom, put my bible in the ground
I can't preach it 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

Tom, wipe the sweat from my face
I'm sick and tired of the war
Got a lonely hard feeling and it's hard to trace
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

Tom, put my bible in the ground
I can't preach it anymore.
The body's not one with me anymore
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

Tom, wipe the sweat off of my face
I can't see through it anymore
I need someone to talk to and I've no hiding place
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

Tom, I can hear that thunder roar
Echoin' down from God's distant shore
I can hear 'em callin' out from my soul
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Tom, put my bible in the ground
I can't preach it anymore.
That long black cloud is fallin' down
I feel I'm lookin' at 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

Tom, take this sweat off of my face
I can't see through it anymore
It's a feeling I just can't trace
Feel 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

Tom, carry my legacy around the world
Pull it down from shore to shore
The body's eyes lookin' at me
Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Knockin' on heaven's door
Knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Like so many times before

Goin' down by that road
Feelin' down more and more
Take a pill and trying to remember
Feel 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
Just like so many times before

Tom, take my bible and my pulpit
I don't want it anymore
The body's eyes starin' into my face
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
Just like so many times before

Tom, take my legacy far and away
Don't let it fall down to the floor
But it's so far so far to go
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
Just like so many times before

Tom, take this bible and put it far away
I won't preach it anymore
I'll be leavin' for far away
Feel 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
Just like so many times before

Tom, wipe these tears off of my face
I can't see through them anymore
Gettin' out of here into some other place
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Tom, wipe the tears from my eyes
I just can't see thru them anymore
It's getting harder and harder to see thru this delusion
And I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Tom, wipe the tears from my eyes
I just can't see thru them anymore
Does it come as any surprise
that I am 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
Just like so many times before

Tom, wipe the blood from my face
I can't see through it anymore
Sometimes I feel so out of place
And I feel 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
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before
Just like so many times before
And I feel like I'm a-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
Just like so many times before

Joe - was that really that long when Dylan did the original? I will play it if you will sing it at the reunion.http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/proud.gif

[cape_cod (cape_cod)]

Ralph,

Actually, that was a long version of the original song which was NOT the one that they used to play on the radio. Obviously, I changed some of the words though. I do NOT sing, so that's totally out of the question.*L*

[ralphwells (ralphwells)]

Hey Joe, haven't you listened? Dylan can't sing!http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/rofl.gif Great lyracist, lousey singer.http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/crazy.gif I'll bet you sound at least as good as he does.http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/biggrin.gif

[cape_cod (cape_cod)]

Ralph,

I'd be willing to take that bet.*LMAO*

[offshore (offshore)]

Cape...I just heard that piece yesterday on the classic rock station ...were you listening to 7.5 Frank FM?
I actually thought, someone should use that song for a Steven's parody.
Think I'm getting gifts of knowledge???

[c_la_verite (c_la_verite)]

cher CC... that is the longest song i have ever seen in my life. remind me to never attend a church where you are the songleader.

[offshore (offshore)]

CLC, We'll be lucky to even get him to church.

[cape_cod (cape_cod)]

Please, define "church".

Verite,

You'll NEVER have to worry about that.

[c_la_verite (c_la_verite)]

offshore... it's probably just as well for all concerned.


CC... sorry, didn't mean to put you in a box, the free spirit that you are!!

[rjfernalld (rjfernalld)]

great lyrics, cc

[shat_happens (shat_happens)]

it should be knockin' on stevens door

"Oh Follow Me to the John Won't You Boys?"
Feel like I'm knockin' on the sh*thouse door
(Carl's inside and I'm feeling down)
Knock, Knock Knockin' on the sh*thouse door...

[yogi (yogi)]

JF,

Ain't it the truth, ain't it the truth...

I heard Stevens having a rap with about 20 other men in the small bathroom by the back door of GGWO once, all the while furiously farting away. He didn't skip a beat and merrily continued his nonsensical babblings.

Think this will be one of legacies Schaller will keep? Someone should sneak into GGWO and put your lyrics on the john's door.

I received two minutes of premarital counseling from Junior. It was in his office in Schermerhorn. He was in his private bathroom on the toilet, farting away. I was talking to him through the bathroom door.
He suddenly ran out, looking totally distracted, and said, "Oh, sounds good to me." He then ran out of his office.

[isabella (isabella)]

Anova,

I don't believe this!

You're kidding, right?

[cape_cod (cape_cod)]

Offshore,

No, I wasn't listening to Frank-FM the other day. I have a lot of songs downloaded on my home PC and I was listening to that particular Dylan song and thought to myself, hmmm, that would work.*L*

As far as you receiving gift's of knowledge goes, well, it wouldn't surprise me.http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/wink.gif

[c_la_verite (c_la_verite)]

very strange... people who enjoy having others around them while they are doing their bathroom duties... sort of like the little kid who is proud of having done kaka-dodo. lyndon baines johnson was apparantly fond of dispensing wisdom while seated on the white throne also... maybe its just a particularity of great leaders???

[anova (anova)]

Isabella,

This is completely true! The sad thing is that the situation warranted a significant amount of thought and counseling. Junior knew that. And that was all he did.


CLV,
"sort of like the little kid who is proud of having done kaka-dodo."
That is too funny.

I have a theory. Junior was just so used to talking out of his butt that he got to the point that he couldn't differentiate between flatulation and conversation.

Anovus

[c_la_verite (c_la_verite)]

in other words... just a lot of hot air!!!

[ralphwells (ralphwells)]

Anovus http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/rofl.gifoh you kid you!http://www.factnet.org/discus/clipart/biggrin.gif

Cape,
I found this today:
http://campus.dyc.edu/%7Ebanksd/dylan.htm
It is a radio broadcast from 1962 with Dylan performing about 20 songs.

Lyndon Johnson orders the presidential pants! (http://img.slate.msn.com/media/51000/51112/Russell_LBJ_pants.asf)

(Beware of 'colorful' language!)

[dinaweena (dinaweena)]

oh my gawd!!! what the HECK is that?!?!?!?!

[anova (anova)]

JF,

I've heard that LBJ was pretty crude. That's the first time I've got to hear it firsthand.

Err thanks, I think. *L*

[jim_faucett (jim_faucett)]

That, my dear dinaweena, is history!

Although LBJ and I share the same university alma mater, I would not call him a particularly great leader, though colorful. He did, however, have quite an interesting way of refering to ex-pres. Gerald Ford: "Jerry's just played too much damn football with his helmet off."
