They say that the dead live forever
And round here well they probably do
If you stand by the gates outside graceland
You can watch all the dead coming through
Its necropolis and welcome to it
Its an archaeological find
Theyll be digging up this town forever
Theyll be digging up this empty mine
The indians stand on the scaffold
Theyve taken the egyptians place
The pharaohs and the politicians
Are planning their perfect escape
So they build a memorial tower
Like the ancient texts said that they would
But stories arent told by the victims
And thats why this storys so good
Have you seen the skyscrapers in memphis
Do you see how they rise like the sun
And the statues they look just like spacemen
Looking down on everyone
And theres art by the yard in the hallways
And our houses are made out of slime
But the skyscrapers almost touch heaven
Did we escape from the mud this time?
So look at the bar-chart skyline
And look at the graph on the wall
But dont you ignore the byline
When the headline says empire falls
The buildings get stranger and taller
Til we see that sphinx up on mars
So prepare your most pertinent questions
But please dont expect any answers
One last look round the museum
The one where the bullets still fly
But dont blink if you wish to see them
Puncture the mummys good eye
As the lift hits the five figure numbers
The relics of ages long gone
The tomb of the unknown protest singer
The computer of king tutankhamun
Have you seen the skyscrapers in memphis
Do you see how they rise like the sun
And the statues they look just like spacemen
Looking down on everyone
And theres art by the yard in the hallways
And our houses are made out of slime
But the skyscrapers they almost touch heaven
Did we escape from the mud this time?
John Wesley Harding is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
